2011 Grad Needs Advice

http://www.razume.com/documents/20932

So I screwed the pooch last year as far as recruiting goes and failed to get a job. I had offers for selling insurance and the like, but I'm not doing that shit. I'm in a MAcc program right for the summer and fall (unless I get a job offer which I doubt would happen starting that quickly). I'm doing the MAcc so I can keep taking courses that help develop relavent skills. I would appreciate comments on:

1) what you like and dislike about the resume. Where can I improve, and what should I keep?
2) should I add the MAcc program onto the education section? I have a 4.0 after the classes this summer.
3) Should I put my experience section above education?
4) Should I add my graduate assistantship to either the education or experience section or leave it off?
5) Should I add my experience as a general manager for Papa John's? I left them in 2005 for my deployment to Afghanistan.

 

Where do you want to end up (banking, research, etc) ? What MAcc program are you in? it will hard to get people's attention with a degree from OSU. There was a recent article on WSO about high demand for veterans with an MBA so you might want to give that a shot since you have work experience and a really good GMAT score. I think you can make more noise if you enter a school where you can gain a soild network. You seem to have all the skills necessary to do well on the job.

Thanks for serving.
