The proper english is "regardless". Maybe that's why your job hunt is fruitless. Hey Mitch,

It seems not that long ago I was in your shoes. Hopefully you find something useful here! During the internship, do you have access to a free career center? Are you able to ask your internship director to bring in professionals or recruiters who can offer insight on resume writing and with what employers look for when hiring? Have you solicited your preceptors for suggestions? As far as the resume itself, some people with limited employment history choose to have a section called "Supervised Practice." This is where one can break down the internship rotations like employment entries, stressing patient populations and clinical and transferable skills. Searching on-line for resume/cover letter tips and examples has provided me with many useful suggestions. Without plagiarizing, on can take ideas from what she finds and combine them to make her own stand-out resume. Congrats for all you have achieved! Best of luck to you. Hi, Aimee,

Seriously, do you have an editor -- because you need one. If you can't afford one, try spell/grammar-check. People are reading this and take it seriously? I guess this proves that most people are just like pigs in a chute, and will really believe anything in print -- especially if it's on the Internet. Your opening sentence is atrocious -- read aloud, it sounds as if English is not your first language. (I'm reading aloud now with my best "Boris and Natasha" accent, and really it sounds more believable that way. “Now that’s we’re in a new year, we want to make sure that you’re armed with best information so that you can land a job ASAP.”

I have a great one that did mine. Anyone without this, you'll get what you pay for. Make sure you get someone with a CERW to write your resume. I have a great one that did mine.

I am a mechanical engineer too. It makes absolutely no sense for HR to do the hiring outside of what they are competant in, in which engineering and many other jobs fall outside their level of competance so they don't know what to look for and they follow the silly 1 page and 20 sec rules because that is what they been trained to do not to mention they don't do their job much of the time and just toss the resumes just because they tired of looking at them.

Home Health Care for job title if you cared for sick relative or Child Advocate if you tried to get services for a special needs child or Community Volunteer if you worked around the neighborhood. You can make it work. Just plan what you will say. Good Luck.
