When you say qualifications...

Do you want things that people have done, what they are good at, etc...? Or prior job experience to work in a certain field.

I may have misunderstood.

Sorry guys, I was in class and typing hastily.

Again, when you say qualifications, do you mean things I am proficient in, lists of awards (education/non-education)?

This is where I'm lost. I have an Associates Degree, but just need a part time job to get some cash.

I think he's asking what types of things are on your resume. Granted, a 20 year old college student probably won't have that impressive of a resume, but anything will help.

Give me a little information on what I should state in here. I don't want to look dumb putting useless information other than what's already in here.

I don't feel like writing an essay, and resume's were never my strong point.

Thanks guys.

Fine with me. Some people define qualifications differently than others. Tell me the line of work you do, or the job you are hiring for, and I will tell you things about me that make me "qualified" for said job.

I'm not dumb, graduated high school in top 5% in class, 3.93 GPA, 1440 SAT. 3.57 in College up to this point.

Write whatever you believe is necessary for your employer to hear.

What are you good at?

Strong quanatative or analytical skills?

Strong speaker/ good with customers?

Sales skills?

How much money are you looking for?

What is your major?

Etc.

Anything you feel necessary for a resume.

Whoa, whoa... Timeout...

You got a 1440 SAT? Wait... You go to JMU with a Duke/Princeton/Pennsylvania/Cornell/Harvard/Stanford SAT score?

You know the average SAT at JMU is 1060 right? Hell, I'm trying to get into Duke with a 1250...

And whoa... Top 5% of class? That should be top 1%. Hell, that should be almost the highest in the school. Out of a graduating class of 500 kids in a public school, an average of 3-5 kids will get over 1450.

BTW, your sentence should read: "I'm not dumb; I graduated high school in the top 5% of my class..." or "I'm not dumb. I graduated high school in the top 5% of my class..."

With a 1440 SAT, you should have a 4.0 at JMU and should have gotten over a 4.0 in high school. Damn... Why would anyone go to JMU with a 1440? What is your major?
