I am having trouble finding a job... could use some sound advise.?

We Answered:

You have a great set of skills. Leave out the "areas of strength". That is for the interviewer to determine.

Try to shorten this resume by 1/3. The most confident applicants always have the shortest resumes.

Offer to go on the local tv station's morning show at 6am to talk about job hunting and about the fashion world. If you get on the show, you will get discovered.

scam for personal assistant?

We Answered:

The good news is , there is a company called mastercopy (or master copy).
www.mastercopy.co.uk
and also a mastercopy.com - but that is not in use
http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-se…

Now, the fact you are 'accepted' without you having seen one another face to face is a red flag.
Also, the 'sending of money' part sounds fishy. Usually this is a fake check scam - where they ask you to cash in, and send a portion of the amount to someone else using Western Union or MoneyGram (these do not offer recovery or tracking services - thus are used by conmen)

I would contact your local police with this info, perhaps they can assist you in A) making sure you do not get arrested for using forged checks, and b) arresting the person trying to scam you.

Tamara Said:

What is wrong with my resume (Clerical)?

We Answered:

I don't see anything blatantly wrong, other than it's not an exciting resume' (but neither is mine) and says what your duties were more than what you did for the company (I'm guilty of that also).

One drawback I did notice is that your typing skills are only 32 wpm. That's quite slow and perhaps that's one of your stumbling blocks. I type moderately fast and can do 70 wpm. For a job that entails much typing, you'll need to do much better than your current.

You could try calling the companies you applied with (and didn't get hired) and asking why they weren't interested (let them know you are trying to better your resume' and job skills). They may or may not tell you, but it doesn't hurt to try.
