Resume comments, pleaseThis is the first resume I've done in almost 15 years, so I'm just looking for some feedback on form and content. I've tried to incorporate some of the advice I've seen on this board but it never hurts to ask. Also, I'm of two minds about including an objective; lose it totally, or keeping it and customizing it for specific applications. Thanks for any feedback. OBJECTIVE: Experienced Testing and Production Supervisor with a technical background seeks a position where 15+ years background in the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) industry can best benefit an employer’s need for an individual who can work equally with production, technical, sales or quality control personnel.

EDUCATION: - Glendora High School, Glendora, CA (1984) - University of Phoenix, Foothill Ranch, CA, B/S-Business Management ( 9/2006)
SKILLS: - Familiar with MS Windows, MS Office product family. - Proficient in the use of test equipment, such as DVM’s, oscilloscopes, harmonic analyzers, and chart recorders. Have managed inventories of test equipment as well as maintained calibration tracking and recurrence cycles. - Familiar with the proper use of necessary safety equipment, such as hearing or eye protection or electrical safety PPE, and with safety regulations or agencies, such as NFPA-70E and OSHA requirements. - Have successfully managed several significant upgrades in testing capacity, resulting in improved product throughput for multiple production lines.

1. "Employment" is misspelled twice. 2. Lots of stuff in your Objective that should be thrown out. For example, do not mention that your experience is in UPS's unless the position you seek is in that industry. I suggest simply Objective A position as a Testing Supervisor. And make a second one as a Production Supervisor. 3. Drop your Education to the end of your resume. Your experience is way more impressive - put that right up front. And drop your HS - just list your college. 4. In the Skills section, mention just that you know and have used test equipment. You don't need to mention each piece of equipment - you would if you were applying for technician level positions. 5. Add numbers. How much was the value of the units you oversaw? You state that you managed capacity upgrades - how much added production did they represent? Thanks for reviewing my resume. Arrgh, I can't believe I missed "employment"; spelling is a pet peeve of mine. Liked moving education to the bottom; done. The objective is a tad fluffy and I do intend to clean it up a bit. Question: it's ok to have multiple objectives? It would be nice for job hunting to not have to be rewriting the objective for each and every application or open posting on a job board. Again, thanks for taking the time to look it over.
Dunno what you mean about multiple objectives. I have multiple resumes, each with its own objective. Got it. Just a bit slow tonight, I guess. Thanks again.
