Resume review with someone at the job center wasn't a whole lot of help. Basically she said the font is too small. Which I can understand, especially the point she made that the HR person might be old and not want to strain his or her eyes. So I will work on that. Means I'll have to take out more skills per version, but I will survive.

I really, really wish I could make the school thing work out. After that resume session I was looking at some stats on jobs and such. The national median for salary for a graphic designer, which is what I was basically doing at Laserwords was $43,000 a year. I was a bit above that. The median salary for a web designer with the skills I want to go to school for... $77,000.

:sigh: Stupid real life...

on the skills set list - drop the more mundane and easy task or skills leave one or two, but put in the fancy stuff so they assume if you know advanced levels you probably know basic levels.

Can't you start school in the summer? Would they go for that instead?

I still need to get a firm answer on that from MATC, it's hard to start a program in the summer, it's not really set up for that. The problem is I can't not work full time. And if I do I have to find something that will cover bills but still not hit 80%. That's gonna be a fine line to hit. I'm not ruling it out completely, but am trying to stay realistic. I have every intention of still talking to the TRA people, up until the point they deny me.
