It doesn't seem like you are qualified for any particular position. You have been bouncing between completely different fields. There are a lot of gaps on your resume (where were you from 1998 to 2000-no job listed for that time), you don't have any real education (undergraduate degree), the sentences are completely grammar inaccurate. From what time to what time were you in school, did you graduate? with what degree? If you are applying for a waitress or the kitchen to was dishes or something-they don't need resumes there. Otherwise I would advise you to change your resume.
I guess it depends on what jobs you are applying forI have been job hunting for 2 months and no one is calling. Does my resume suck? Help.?
Do you do windows?
REFOCUS your resume, so that it applies for one job.



Write a good cover letter that explains the kind of position that you are applying for.



Good luck
Well, No. 1, you probably shouldn't post your resume online. But besides, there;s not enough info. We don't know what city you're applying in, what job you are seeking, etc. Getting a job depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is the current job market in your particular city. Perhaps the position you are seeking is not in high demand in the city you are applying for. We don't know. There are a ton of things that determing successful job hunting. but don't give up. Two months isn't really that long for a job search. There are people who have been looking for the right job for a year. In the meantime, they took work doing something else, just to get the money coming in. try that as well.
