Post your resume to the resume section and we'll blast it from here

I know it's confusing but that way a sponsor can look at everyones with out digging

Seriously, it looks good

nice resume

Mike Cork · January 19, 2007, 03:08:40 PM

Ron it looks great, except you need to get some numbers of people that you will be in contact with, that will see your truck (driving around town, trips), that will be at weigh-ins of your tournaments. See if you can get some good numbers and then justify them as proof

basically like you did by stating facts about the Ultimate Bass Stats

Looks great Fogy

Ron Fogelson · January 19, 2007, 03:40:19 PM

Thanks guys, Mike I will get on the numbers.

Dug · January 19, 2007, 03:50:09 PM

I look at resumes fairly regularily and I have a couple of suggestions though admittedly my experience is with technical resumes.

Fully justify your paragraphs where you can.

In your winnings listings, list them chronologically newest to oldest rather than oldest to newest.

Say Father instead of Dad. (just seems a little more polished)

Make a statement that you will publically use the product and have an available avenue for getting the product out and receiving reviews from others.

Whereever you can (like where you listed the page views from Ultimate Bass) quantify (that's key as numbers are always paramount).

Hope this helps and hope I didn't step on you too much. My intention was to be helpful.

Nope, my toes are just fine, this was my 1st attempt.

Now as to my Dad, he is my Dad, I don't know my Father other then he was a drunk, so what would you recommend; still say father?

I know the more eyes that review this the better end product will be so thank you for all your inputs.

Mike Noble · January 19, 2007, 03:58:20 PM

I agree with Mike and Dug on the numbers...put them in wherever you can.

It looks good.

If you feel strongly about it, then Dad is fine. My father is an drunk spineless SOB so I do not call him Dad..... Don't change it if it's how you are to refer to him in an interview. Your lucky you had him.

oh, one other thing. check your punctuation. Attention to detail is important no matter what you do.

Fogy, look good, very nice and impressive.

GotstaFish · January 19, 2007, 11:04:35 PM

I'd stick with Dad, the fishing community that you are creating this resume for realizes that anyone can be a father but it takes a special person to be a Dad

I gave him a little plaque way back when I was just a little Fogy for that very reason.

Kinda in that situation now, except I am trying to be the dad to two wonderful boys. (I am a Father and a Dad to my two Girls!!) So yes, DAD is just fine fogy!

Ron Fogelson · January 20, 2007, 02:07:01 PM

Ok I made some changes.

Mike Cork · January 20, 2007, 02:14:04 PM

Looking great

What about adding something like this?

12 team events with the Twin Cities Team Club and an additional 20 to 35 local open tournaments

Total spectaters from last years events averaged

? with the largest event being the Reeve's Marine Open with 200 Contestants, hundreds of on site spectators, and a televised weigh in

Ron Fogelson · January 20, 2007, 02:29:52 PM

I like it!

And Dang Man thank you for the FH! I about fell off the sofa when D brought them to me.

Not a problem she said you wanted some and we don't use them so, there you go

You're gonna have to teach me a secret or two about Bisteneau now

Dug · January 20, 2007, 04:09:45 PM

Looks good Fogy!!

I'll show you everything I know but you beet me last time out so it's up to you

GotstaFish · January 20, 2007, 10:57:24 PM

Looking even better Fogy

Jared LeBlue · January 23, 2007, 12:18:56 PM

Looks good. Now all you have to do is put those you idealize, like everyone in the Lock Jaw Bass Club. Add in there that you have had much experience in netting fish for me and because of that you are now considered on of the best net boys in Louisiana. Don't leave out the valuable fishing lesson I have given you. Once all that is in there you are sure to get some sponsors. I think Frabill is looking to sponsor a good net boy.
