    Default Re: Jobs (and resumes)

    Keep it to one page, first of all. When listing your tasks you did for prior employment, list it in the order of awesomeness/relavence, not the amount of time you spent. For example, I had an internship last year where I mostly read the day's news and opinion updates on a subject of interest, and sent/summarized the relevant articles to my boss. Did I put that first? Heck no, I put the more interesting stuff I did on a far less-regular basis.

    Also, you never handled a cash register, you "were entrusted with the safekeeping and accurate accounting of thousands of dollars in cash on a daily basis".
