Heidi/Jack, if you do a c&p of your rez, you may get more responses/suggestions.

Heidi, it's a style thing w/ me, but I think that it's easier to scan a rez if you use bullet points. And since you're in numbers, you should include them, e.g.,
  • Develop and manage annual budgets of $X million

Not clear as to when you attended Chabot.

okay, you did this: Implemented financial policies and controls assessments in 2001.  but! how did it improve the bottom line?? You need to toot your horn a bit.

Typo:

  • Performed month-end close for variable labor and expense.

Was the bookkeeper job part-time? (you were in school)

You may want to place your experience first, your work achievements, and then your education. What about computer skills? I imagine that in addition to MS Office that there are specific accounting software packages--recruiters would search on such things as this.

I think you need to edit--perhaps incorporate your achievements with your tenure at each position.

Are there any other industry-specific classes/schooling that should be included?

Let me know if you want more suggestions.  And there's no need to delete your post-- no idea who you are.  hmmm, one thought-- delete the name(s) of your college/university and loc.  (As the poster, you can delete your own posts.)

Edenh - yes, I do want the suggestions - and I'm going to do those you suggested asap.   I'm going to redo and post again later.

Heidi,
 
Could you email me? I would like to talk to you off the board, if you don't mind. My email addy is in my profile.

Heidi, I'm glad you deleted your rez.  There are some nefarious folks who would search the Monster database (if they have access) specifically on your schools in an attempt to ID you.
 
I look forward to seeing the changes and I'm glad to help.

Heidi,
 
Your attachments are still available on the first post and they have your college on them.

Hmm. I don't see the resume.  Let me clean my glasses and come back to look later.  Jack, are you a CMA?  If not, would you consider becoming one?
