Adam, if your post proves anything it is that resumes don't work!!! Not one job offer from all of the readers, not even an interview. If you think that mailing resumes to people like this if an effective use of your time and money, think again. Use your superior interpersonal skills and network, network, and network some more. If you are truly ambitious why not start your own business? A friend borrowed $60k, started a bagel manufacturing business at your age and today, 20 years later, he is worth 3 to 4 million. How many of the readers on this site have this kind of dough? (pun intended) How obstinate and unthinking of these people to tell you your grammar is unsatisfactory and therefore you are unemployable. Their posts speak volumes, more than they would ever be willing to disclose. By the way, your mother told me to post this. Happy Pesach.

Im very active on Audiogon but not too sure if this has been done before but here is my resume! Anyone got a job for me?
