This is a great idea. Thanks to Team 103 for taking the time to put this together. I just finished entering in my information and I have a few comments to make.
1. As Jeremy said above, it would be great if the option to upload a resume was available. That would make it much easier.
2. For many of us, the number of spots to put past team affiliations is not enough. I'm also not sure if just saying college student really explains what we college students do for our teams. It may help to label this as current team affiliations and past ones as well.
3. Maybe displaying GPA should also be a choice.
4. For the type of job seeking, there should probably be a distinction between entry level job seekers and those looking for a career change.
5. When entering in employers, more spaces would be beneficial. There should also be an option for current employer since it won't let me just not enter an end date.
6. There should be an area to add skills including computer programs, CAD software packages, languages, etc.
7. An area for extra curricular activities would be good as well. This would have fields for the "club" name as well as years of involvment, offices held, and maybe a short description.
8. An area for awards should also be added for personal awards.
9. Last but not least, since the goal is for this to be for FIRST site, I would like to see a section of the resume builder to be about the FIRST experience of that person. Each of us has different experiences as well as different responsibilities on the team. It would be good to see what experience that person has had and what their individual responsibilites are on their team and in FIRST in general. Maybe even an area for team awards that they have contributed to (those received while they were on the team).
I hope these suggestions will help improve the site. I dont mean to sound critical of this great idea, I would like to see it succeed as I am trying to find myself a job for after I graduate in May
