Applying to positions, could I get some feedback on my resume

Veteran

Brian Bottorff Westport , CT

I graduated with my MBA, finance concentration, from UConn in December and still having an issue finding a position. I will be applying to more positions and was wondering if I could have my resume reviewed to see if there is anything I can improve upon to be a more attractive candidate to employers.

Thank you

Hi Brian: I too will gladly review your resume. Have years of experience hiring folks. One suggestion is to craft your resume to the specific job you are interested in. One size does not fit all.
Best,

Brian,

You've got a good start with your LinkedIn profile. Keep building it until you reach "All Star" status. Something I learned yesterday from a recruiter - many companies filter out documents and messages from yahoo and hot mail accounts. G-mail works best. Be careful using your .mil account to communicate due to possible conflict of interests.

Thanks- John

Feel free to email me too - c@recordedfuture.com.

One recommendation - many companies - like mine - are more and more using LinkedIn for screening. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is awesome!

Brian,
As a former hiring manager for sales positions I can certainly take a look at your resume. Also I have a good friend in finance who works for a Fortune 500 company who would also take time to review your resume.
