OK need a quick spot of advice
I am writing up my resume for a job.
It's taking waaaay too long to answer the specific required criteria but I'm almost finished.
So I have an old resume also that I need to update to put in with my answers to the job criteria but in the skills section I've listed a lot of stuff I had to write about answering the criteria anyway so not sure if I should bother with that?
Also have a section about career goals in my resume but I'm not sure listing those is going to help me get this job because I'm going for a basic lab technician job which I'll be overqualified for once I've finished my PhD (in theory - if I ever do). If I say I might not care about finishing my PhD it looks like I'm not ambitious and might be lazy. If I say I want to go on to be a research scientist it looks like I'll quit really quickly and would be unlikely to even continue working in their organization.
So would it be weird to leave it out completely and say nothing about career goals?
I'm sure there are plenty of people who are awesome at resume writing who might be nice enough to give me a little advice just quickly? You being an intelligent lot so I can check back here in the morning (late here now) and finish this stupid application tomorrow.
Please wonderful people![]()
