Need some help updating my resume

[shibbs]

So I'm updating my resume, and trying to get the hell out of the automotive industry. Automotive was my fall-back growing up, and a part-time gig through college. I got roped into a dealership...... blah blah blah. I want out. 

 

So. My question:

 

How the heck would I say (in a super-awesome buzzword-y way) that I have excellent knowledge of and I closely follow the computer hardware industry?

 

My brain is fried from dealing with these braindead BMW customers all day.  <_<

 

(apologies to BMW owners on this board)

Well you need real life experience to get what you have now. how much do you make at the dealership? its going to be hard to match that right off the bat.

Ha, I'm a parts peon. "Big Dealership Buxx" isn't in my vocabulary.

still, even if you make like 20 dollars an hour, its gonna be hard to match as you dont have anything to back it up with. i recommend staying with your job and get an A plus certification as well as some cisco ones. and once you can get a job you are happy with go for that

...Becuase you knowing what goes into PC is important for automotive industry. Sorry, but they are looking for electronics engineer and software engineers. It requires more than such general knowledge you already have.

If you want to mention it in hobby category, I say I'm into computers. Nothing more.

Oh, wow, Mr. Super Stalker. Please, since you apparently know me, please tell me all about my experience. (Hint, it's further down this post.)

 

And thanks for your help with the actual question I asked in the post!  :rolleyes:

I've already got my A+, CCNA, and MCSA. Majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering, minor in Computer Science. But thanks.

 

 

I was literally just looking for someone who's good with words. But it's all good. Had a coworker help me out.

Well in that case... I mean I've seen many posts about "Hi I like computers and want to work with them, what to do?". Which don't have clue that what we do as hobby is irrelevant for the whole industry.

If you have actual skill and education, you use that. Saying something like "<insert education here> and worked with school projects that handle <insert subjects here>. There I used <insert used skills and tools>". Thats how I've worded my experience using GIS and special 3D modelling software.
