Good morning all,
I really need to find something else so I'm trying to get back into electronics with only 2 problems.1) All of my work history is pre 2000s and 2) the school I even attended and got my associates closed up for good in 2015. I have no problem starting at the bottom again, as this is not a long term plan but a way to sustain myself while I go back to school.
So I've been trying to figure out how to create a resume to send out. Many have suggested using a functional resume. That way I can focus on listing my skills. They also suggested that this is one of the rare situations where a career objective would benefit. The only thing is, What do I put down?
They say first impressions are everything and a career objective is usually about what you can do for them, not what they can do for you. Overall, I need a place that I can get my foot in the door and start rebuilding relative experience that can be transferred to mechanical engineering when I graduate from college. But with my experience being from so long ago, what I can I pout down that would make me sound like a benefit to them?
I've never been good at selling myself. So any advice or help would be welcomed.
