Also one question– since I'm under 18, should I include anything about high school under education? I did go to a private school for one year, and am technically still enrolled at a different HS to get a diploma the same time I get my associate's...
- just list: Education <space> Blah Blah Community College, Degree, Year Transferring/Graduat...studderine
- that's all they need to know.studderine

i don't have a clue. my comments come from shopping in their showroom and everything i saw on the way up there
- it's okay I appreciate any kind of thread bumping. do you have a resume?ismith
- I don't really give a shit about AA, it's just an excuse to get this shit startedismith

also, don't give them the usual cover letter bullshit. when i reply to job postings that require a cover letter, i tend to put an informal introduction to studderinE right in the email. im sure they are getting a lot of applicants, being different would help.
- I'll just paste the contents of my twitter feed or QBN replies. ;)ismith
- there we go buddy, good luck. your portfolio shows promise.studderine
- thanks, now quick insult me before QBN notices! cover letter plan B: blank except for a rulerismith
- running the long side of the page, single line "my dick is this big". that should be edgy enoughismith
- of course, i think your portfolio will get you the jorb. also, you suck!!!studderine

create a profile on any popular career website (ie: careerbuilder.com), view resume examples (for your field). that should give you a good idea what companies are looking for as far as information content/structure.

Even though it's kind of a small deal (I mean, Connecticut, c'mon...), would either of these documents include the fact that I've exhibited in the school's (brand new and very public) gallery multiple times? Just because I had to go through a whole application process just for those pieces, and they turned down over half of what I submitted.
- you can list that your work has been displayed in a gallery...why not...that is cool!studderine
- There's gotta be something I can say to distract them from my inexperienceismith
- ok, thanks!ismith

American Apparel has been subject to several sexual harassment lawsuits, three were dismissed or settled while another remanded to arbitration
