Resume tips : resume review

I'm new to monster and I am not sure if it is okay to post my resume here for peer review. I browsed the message board and it seems as though others have asked for advice. Is there a way I can post my resume on the board for others to review?

Thanks

Your resume is very good - you have a lot of experience it seems. You might want to consider posting a list of bullets of strongest skills or skills you want to highlight and then follow it with your experience to support it.

For example you would list your computer software skills, special area of knowledge , big accomplsihments in your field, etc.

good luck to you!

Thanks so much for your advice-I did change a few minor errors that I noticed after I posted it on Monster. I was worried it might be too "wordy" and I think your idea of highlighting skills is a great suggestion! I actually just put it in an application with the state so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks again
