Billy Said:

Can somebody help me with my resume?

We Answered:

A big part of your problem might be that you have several jobs on here that you only stayed at for short periods of time. If they were temp jobs, you might collapse them into one, with the employer being the temp agency. Generally, being at a job for less than six months or so (esp. several) raises questions. Also, you've jumped around between different fields a lot and there are unexplained gaps between jobs.

Your better bet would be to apply for jobs that truly fit your recent experience and develop a good cover letter that explains why you moved around a lot, and that you're dedicated to that particular line of work now. You should also search for something like "resume formats" online, because there are different styles of resumes which might highlight your strengths, as opposed to pointing out your chronological work history.

Also, you're going to need some good references and letters of recommendation. Include or refer to them during the application process.
