General resume writing help?

I am a dental hygienist and have made my resume for applying for hygiene positions however where I live they are difficult to come across so I also need to apply for some general positions doing whatever I can find until something comes up. I am working on a general resume and need some help. I am not really too sure what to put as my qualifications. I don't want the crappy work well as a team, well organized....blah blah blah crap nobody cares about. My work experience includes working as a dental hygienist, managing a cleaning company, a few different cashier jobs. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Hello, Cadence Jade's Mommy: It makes it hard to compose a resume when you have multiple types of work you must apply for. But to be most effective in your job search, you may have to put together more than one version. It would be too "all over the place" and confusing to a hirer to meld them all together into one - and it would definitely make it less effective. Some parts of your resume can be adapted to more than one position, but most needs to be specific. You may end up with two or even three versions of your resume, and each needs to be adapted to the specific job you are applying for. Start with the position you most want. I would recommend that you use the Functional format for your resume, rather than the Chronological. That way you are giving attention more to the skills and abilities you have acquired over the years, many of which are transferrable between jobs, rather than focusing on any given position. Your Headline/Objective is very important. It is right below your name and contact information, and will be the first thing a hirer will read. You need to convince him, in 1 to 2 sentences, how qualified you are for the job he is offering. The Headline above all else should be specifically tailored to the position you are applying to. Start by using a strong adjective to describe yourself, such as "A talented professional", or "Skilled in …" Then add a position/function, such as "dental hygienist" or "administrative assistant". Then mention your level of experience or expertise, like "…who has demonstrated strong leadership and team skills for 10 years" Here's an example of a strong Headline: An experienced and detail-oriented administrative assistant with 10 years experience in project supervision and employee training (no period - it encourages them to read on). Just reading that will clue them about whether you are a good fit for their company. That saves them time, and they appreciate that. Your Summary of Qualifications will break down for them what skills you have acquired in your past. You can list your personal strengths here, professional skills you have acquired, as well as computer and technical skills. To make it easier for them to read, do these in a bulleted list. Put the most important skills or qualifications at the top of the list and go down in descending order. If this is a hard part for you to compose, wait and do it last, after you have written up the rest of your resume. By then you will have reviewed in your mind what you excel at and what would be beneficial to them.
