    I'm redoing my resume and I was wondering the best way to do it. I have only been working on a ambulance for the last 10 years and my last driving job was about 10 yrs ago. How do I put my driving experience in as I have worked for a few ambulance services.

    if it's been 10 year ago. then it won't count. when you put you driving history in. I would put E.M.S certified driver. and then ad in the related training and certification that one needs for a job like that. chances are a major fleet will hire you to work in the medical center of the main terminal.

    What kind of job are you applying for? In trucking, a lot of companies require you till fill out their online application and never ask to see a resume.

    I got to tell you - don't waste your time over too much details or making it fancy.

    I've been trying to pick up part time work for my sanity because I am sitting at home and don't want to do OTR or Expedite. I sent resumes to about 50 companies for different jobs and one of trucking companies call me to have me fill out an application telling me they toss resumes as soon as they get them.

    I want to drive, I've had my cdl class a since I was 18 and drove for many years. I wish I hadn't stopped driving never thought that not driving now I wouldn't have any experience. If I wanted to work as a paramedic at the terminal I would just stay on the ambulance. I will keep the resume simple

    If your CDL is current, these companies will hire you:

    Maverick
    Paschall Truck Lines
    Ozark Motor Lines

    You don't need a resume; do what 900,000 tons-of-steel recommended on the application.
