Thanks for the encouragment, I really appreciate it, after you get turned down as much as I have, you start to get a bit down on yourself though.
I tried some of those resume writing tutorials, and combined most of them together to see what I could come up with, I'll post it here and see if any of you guys can pick out whats wrong with the thing, or if its just my shaggy hair thats pushin' them away from hiring me, lol
