I am currently temping full time but I am starting to look for more stable, permanent employment. I’ve only temp’d with several clients of my employer for several weeks and sometimes months. I cannot possibly put on my resume I’ve worked for these companies since I am working for a temp company. How can I state this imformation accurately and relevantly?

You can list the name of the agency and just put "various temp assignments, then list the dates for that agency. If any of the assignments are relevant to the job you’re applying for, you can list them all under one heading. Saves you space and makes your resume look cleaner. If you list each one separately, even if the employer knows they were back-to-back and all for the same agency, it just looks like job-hopping and could hurt your chances. Also, if any of the agency’s clients were clients or competitors of the company you’re applying for, list them with the detail for your temp jobs.

Good luck!

im trying to make a resume and cover letter. i cant think of any skills to put in. when i was in high school i remember there being a list of skills and words to describe yourself when making a resume. does anyone know where i can find one online without possibly having to pay for it. i would very much appreciate it.

You have to list your own skills! a list of anything from anyone else won’t match your personal skillset.

your list of skills should start very specific, and can get more general:

- Keyboarding/typing (list speed)
- Proficient at various computer applications including: …(list)
- Relevant degree or training, (i.e. CPR trained, AD/400 certified) – List foreign languages you can speak, read and write
- Computer skills include website design and implementation (list programs used or show website url as example)
- Excellent team player
- Excellent written and oral communications skills
- Work well under pressure

don’t list:
hobbies, irrelevant skills like dancing or bowling, certifications or licenses that you don’t have, or anything too personal.

Good luck!

Think of what you can do well, what you enjoy to do, and list those qualities. I am sure it won’t be too hard once you get started.

I Was In Construction-Labouring,Painting,Fixing electrical Cords(extension And Tools)..Pet Store-Cleaned Animal Cages,Made Appointments,Clipped Nails,Maintained Food And Water Levels In Cages,All Cleaning,Unloaded Shipments,Did Pricing,Stock,Answered The Phone,Grooming,Cashier,closing and opening.
Bakery-Sealed Foods, Closed,Assisted The Baker.
Timmies-Cashier, soup and sandwich, made coffee, baked, all cleaning.

Just add what ir relevant to the job that you are applying for.

in 2,000 words or less I need to fill out an online portion of the resume about what skills abd abilities i have to be hired as a corporate training partner. I currently work in food safety.

Only about 500 words fit on a page. You can surely put your skills and abilities in there. Management experience, software you are familiar with, other computer skills.
