help?

[bubbles]

I have just been asked to apply for a job for which I do not think I am qualified. The same job that my friend was just fired from. This is slightly nerve-wracking. Especially since I have already decided to apply. It really is a good job. So what do I do now?
I need to talk to my friend. I’m pretty sure she’ll understand...
I need to come up with a resume. I haven’t written one for a year and I wasn’t any good at it then. Crap.
Anyone got any advice? Please?

If they are asking you to apply they must think you Are qualified? Right?

There are many good sites to help you out there in making a resume. I do not know which ones you would prefer. I like this one, but it might be too much hand holding for ya: http://www1.umn.edu/ohr/ecep/resume/

I am glad your friend will not mind. I must say she is nobler than I. :)

Thanks for the tip! I have used resume-building sites before, but it always seemed like I was missing a step. Hand-holding might be a good thing, at the moment.
I am Hoping my friend won't mind, considering that she was never happy in the position. Hopefully the job she has now will be a better fit for her.
Thanks again! It's a relief to get feedback. I'm not so nervous, knowing I'm not entirely on my own.

I knew my comment wasn't actually constructive help. Anyone can look up websites, and it isn't like you don't know about the internet or the world or anything. :) I just didn't know How to help exactly...

Whew. It is sad of me to be relieved that she wasn't happy with her job, but that would make a big difference in getting her blessing; I am sure.

...And you are never alone.

How cheesy is that? :)
