IT Employment

Overall, I would assume you're looking at monster, indeed, linkedIN job boards and especially at your college employment office? When I went to college, there was this hard-working lady in my college employment office...she opened many doors for me and helped me to land my first job.

I don't mean to be snarky, but two suggestions about your post:

1) You only have one chance to make a good first impression.

Therefore check your spelling and punctuation. Improper spelling or grammar tells a potential employer that you either lack attention to detail, or are not well educated, or both. Putting 'oppertunity' or 'back ground' on your resume gets it sent to the recycle bin, period, no exceptions. IT is a field where detail is very important....small errors make big problems.

2) Your faith and religion is between you and whoever or whatever you believe in, not us.

TR is intended to be a site for IT professionals, and while we should all respect each others beliefs, us IT professionals here have neither the expertise or metaphysical power to 'help you with your prayers'. If you have faith, good for you, but keep it to yourself.

Mr. Allen:
With your poor grammar (on, own) that masters you are flaunting won't buy you diddley. I am not an IT. I can say what I please. If you do not change your attitude soon you will never get an internship, much less a responsible position paying a good salary. Having been in the computer business since 1980, I have thrown away more resumes from people such as yourself than I can remember. Until you have a job it would behove you not to be rude to your elders. Or anyone for that matter. I know what a masters degree means to you. It means little to others until you prove that you know your craft. First, work on your grammar and spelling; homonyms and antonyms.
Keep in mind that you are a young man. Just starting out. You need all of the help you can get and you should be grateful from your heart when someone takes the time to speak to you.

Joe:

There are several spelling errors in your post. ALL of them would tank your resume faster than writing your resume in crayon. If you think we are being hard on you, wait until you see what an HR Specialist that has 100 to 1000 resumes for the one slot you would accept thinks.

Best of luck in your endeavors.
