I have no idea what ot put or an objective because my only goal is to stay as far away from retail as possable. I had enough of that. (People getting in my face telling me theatening things.)

Best Answer:
If your resume reads like your question, that's your problem. You hid your question inside and near the bottom of your statement. Is this how you write a resume? I sorted through it, and understood it, but I wouldnd't be inclined to hire you since you can't articulate why I should. Get some help on writing a resume. Many people think only professionals need a good resume. Wrong!! If you apply at a fast food joint and they say you're over qualified, you probably are. If you apply at a restaurant and they say you're not qualified, you probably need to clean up your resume. Here's a resume hint: Try using pauses and spaces where appropriate. Your introduction/question is rife with punctual and grammatical errors. In the "spell check" world of today nobody should have a resume that reeks of errors.
I own my own company, and have worked Personnel and HR in others. In todays market with 200 applicants for a minimum wage job you need to distinguish yourself.
