Living or surviving? (looking for a new career choice in central NJ)? This is what I have for my resume (sans contact info and references) I need some great info to help out. Just a recap on my current info: working in a brokerage firm doing maintenance (in which I am currently fed up with), I did college and have an ASA and need to land a better job. Obviously, I want to live instead of surviving. I am 27, have MS (this is a reason why I am looking for a no labor job) and fee; that my time in college has been wasted. (Also, I do not know which category to place this in so if this is in the "wrong" one, please forgive me) Enough of the depression talk, here is my info: PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Maintenance/Mailroom clerk/Operations assistant MAXIM Group – New York, NY (Brokerage firm) • BEGINNING: December 2008 – Present • Maintenance responsibilities: Cleanliness of office space • Mail room responsibilities: Sort & distribute mail, deliver office supplies to departments. • Operations responsibilities: Open, modify or close trader and personal accounts.
