Being Cautious of Bad Advice
If you're stubborn like I am, then you probably have a hard time taking advice from others. I am skeptical of the help that people want to give, because I have been burned a time or two from tips that were not beneficial.Help yourself in weeding out advice from excellent to unhelpful, first by considering the source. Don't allow yourself to feed in to someone's sage opinion on your resume if they themselves have never held a job.
If your closest friends are the type of people that would rather hurt themselves than offer blunt, up front advice about your job prospects [which isn't a bad thing, except in this situation], then consider going to someone who can be more subjective and hit you with the hard facts.
Once you have figured out who to seek counsel from, also remember that your gut instincts are almost always right. Even if the person is knowledgeable on the subject, your core gut will usually tell you whether or not to listen.
These tips, ironically enough, are just my opinion. It is up to you whether or not to follow them when tailoring your resume and looking for jobs. Best of luck!
