First –
Any HR person reading your Objective will not read past it. The phrase "further my career" means it gets filed in the trash!!!
All this objective says is what can you do for me.
Companies do NOT want to know what they can do for you. They want to know what you can do for them.

Second -
I think you could do well in an advertising agency – you have advertising, management, computer & graphic design skills – all necessary in the advertising world.

Third – making the resume better
Be specific about what computer applications you know – do not just say "variety of computer applications".

Separate out the different types of skills -
database & computer skills,
library skills,
customer service skills,
advertising skills.
Makes it easier to see.

And its not necessary to put ALL your skills into every resume. You have enough here to pick & choose what you put in. You must PERSONALISE each resume for each application.

There is no such thing as a general resume – and this is a very general resume. That means you are not trying hard enough, and tells the company that if you cannot be bothered to do a good job with the resume, then you probably wont do a good job if they hired you.

Let me see if I can rework this resume for you.
Here you go.

EDITED RESUME
I changed this from chronological format – which is what you have – to a functional formet which I prefer. You’ll need to redo your objective.
Dont include the university education if you didnt actually graduate. It just tells the employer that you cant finish what you started.
I removed the library skills because they are not really relevant unless you are looking for a library or a legal research job. (And for those you need either an MLS or a paralegal certificate).

Time Management Tips for Employees Working at Home

By: William Park



One of the greatest problems of maintaining a productive home run job is resource management. In contrast to the office setup where time is well-accounted for, time management at home can be much harder. These are some tips on managing your time better when working from home :

Plan your working time - You should give yourself deadlines. Not having a boss to oversee you while at work does not mean you must let go of your working etiquette. If you like, you can make adjustments on an office\'s nine to five. You can have a 8 to four workday, for example, or something much later on. You may even have shorter or longer working hours as long as you\'ve got a set schedule.

Stick to your agenda - don\'t be distracted by interruptions. Scheduling your workday is simple enough but sticking to the schedule is trickier. Behave as if you are being monitored even if you are working from home.

Assign a separate working area - Assign a working area away from diversions. Don\'t set your working area close to the television, unless you can work better with noise in the background. A set working area will also prompt you into working mode. Being in it reminds you that you have work to get done.

Ask for help - you are not a superhero, sadly. Even if you would like to juggle all the chores, including looking after the kids, you cannot do it alone. Hire a nanny to observe the children. If you don\'t have money to hire a nanny, ask a relative or friend who can stay with you for awhile. If that person can only stay with you at night, you may work at night instead.

The internet has brought lots of new opportunities that we all recognized as relatively very unlikely before. Take as an example the way we communicate. Since the appearance of the web, everything has become more practical, quicker and cheaper .


When it comes to income from home, getting the right information can be a daunting task. That\'s why we put together this confidential report for you at home base business
