I have written and rewritten my resume no less that 15 times. I have had other eyes look it over I have followed samples, I have had a semi professional re do it with no success. I think that the problem is that I have had a major career change in the last 4 years I have gone from working as an administrative assistant/financial services professional to Event and Meeting Planner. I would love to marry all of my skills into one harmonious resume so that I can re enter corporate America bringing the old w/the new and get a great job. Problem I have to much info I think but it all seems so important. My feelings are that since I don't have  a college degree that my experience will have to do the talking. How can I widdle down my resume to the key points without losing the Zing. I have been looking for employment now for about 3 months with no success. Please help.
