I should probably acquire some sort of job skill

[Al B. Sure!]

For international positions, I think.

why would that be? that seems a little odd and suspicious, don't you think? Why would they care what you look like?

We do it, but it's not for job positions, but pitches.

It promotes familiarity/recognition. Which in turns increases successful conversion of opportunities.

I think it's a way so you don't accidentally bring in the darkies.

[Dauphin]

Wow, play the racism card much.

[Dauphin]

Perhaps we shouldn't put names on CVs either, in case they sound foreign.

[Dauphin]

Or academic background, in case they are uneducated poor people.

[Dauphin]

Let's dispense with CVs, cos it's unfair on those that can't read and write.

Albie thinks that he should have had a top-flight finance job handed to him on a silver platter based on his second-rate degree from a third rate school.

Anything other than that outcome is simple racism, according to him.

I'm re-writing my resume but I'm trying to come up with things to say that aren't just a job description, particularly for my most recent job.

I want to change the "ensuring operational compliance with franchisor directives" to something but I'm not sure how to describe it. Basically, I know to some of you this might sound retarded, but one of my jobs was to be, I want to say primary point guy but I'm not sure what the proper term would be, for one of the national brands that we operated a franchise for. Okay, it was Burger King, but still... I had Burger King GM responsibilities along with all the in-house brands... when the BK (I can't remember his title, he would be the regional guy representing BK corporation to BK franchises in the tri-state area) guy would come through, I was the guy to talk to. I guess it sounds silly and might not be a real accomplishment to some of you but it's still a job that was important... a very lucrative contract, literally worth millions of dollars, was in my hands.

Also, how can I emphasize the fact that I was the person in charge of a full kitchen and serving staff on my shift as well as in charge of field locations? See, my title was iffy and changed constantly... I was either a manager or just a supervisor whenever it was most convenient to the people above me... Add in the fact that when someone hears supervisor, they think oh some guy who's just supervising the staff... supervisor doesn't have connotations of me being in charge of my own shift in a fairly large operation (annual sales of over $12 million). You typically don't think of supervisors as guys who are the only managerial representative around to employees, customers, vendors, etc. on my shift.

Put on your resume whatever the highest ranking job title was. As for describing what you've done, be clear and concise. Bullet points no more than one line long. Start each one with a past tense action verb. "ensuring operational compliance with franchisor directives" is overly long and complex and really just comes down to "did my job." Point out the things that made you stand out from every other BK supervisor. What did you accomplish at your job other than showing up?

Burger King in some slum in Philly
Manager
-supervised a staff of X employees, including full kitchen and serving staff
-demonstrated leadership through doing whatever you do at your field locations
-increased productivity and efficiency somehow
-banged several hot chicks (see references)

But he went some super awesome high school. And everyone knows that its what high school you went that really matters when applying for jobs.

It wasn't just burger king And I wasn't some typical BK manager I was in charge of maintaining a franchise contract and being who the BK corporate guys talked to when they came in and wanted to make changes to our franchise.

I was also managing a much larger operation... it included the equivalent of 12 BK's (they were different brands... we had an Auntie Anne's, an Einstein Bagel, etc. plus several in-house brands and a full-staff kitchen; around 120 employees), another dozen off-field sites, including a Starbucks.

Maybe I'm wrong but the scale of the operation I think is impressive. How can I represent that and my job duties properly? Fast food supervisor does not AT ALL represent to the average HR person what my job actually entailed.

If you can't write a ****ing description of what you did then maybe you actually didn't do anything or are just flat retarded . Maybe you should supervise some sugar daddy's penis because that's the only way you are going to make a living at this rate. By the way the picture on the CV is not to weed out darkies but rather homosexuals or those with gay face.

Only Asher knows what gay face is. You're being very transparent, Asher.

Look I told you facts. I don't care what you do with them. Find a rich man and do what you need to do.
