Any advice on how to become a resume slut?

Go out alone after dark. Wear a short skirt. Visit less reputable places that aren't well lit. Drink alcohol. Maybe take some drugs. Accept drinks from strange men. The rest will take care of itself.

Oh wait, didn't see the word resume. I have no idea.

I am trying to get hired for after graduation so I really need to get it all tarted up.

But once you're in power none of that will be necessary.  Just remember those of us who supported you along the way.

Any advice on how to become a resume slut?

you've graduated, right? i'm still in school, and in a different profession, so i'm not sure how applicable my advice is. but, what i did last semester was scan through bio pages and linkedin profiles of top regional attorneys to try and emulate their achievements. also, if there are major engineer forums that focus on the application process, read through all those threads. if there are well known national engineering associations, you could join one or two of those - be careful not to overdo it, though. if you know a recruiter for an engineering firm is a member for some association, you could try joining it just to put on the resume you send him. competitive internships are also very nice, or any internship which has you doing substantive work.

edit - NM, looks like you're still in school. do you have a close relationship with a professor or two? if not, develop those relationships. they can be very useful. i'm not sure if teacher assistant is an option for you, but it's probably worth a shot if it is. also, grades. grades. grades. that's the most important thing. wherever you're at now in class rank or GPA, improve by graduation.

*i don't mean stuff like "treasurer of the organization of poor law students," which imo are all worthless.

We've pretty much done every topic under the sun now, haven't we?

I was think of starting one on photography, but we must have done that, probably even me who started it back in the day.

I made myself Vice President of the Seoul Foreign School Amerasian Society and it got me into GU.

Tripped on an escalator with my keys in my hand, so that when I braced myself I struck the edge of the step fingernail-first.  I thought I was okay at first but I apparently hit hard enough for blood to start leaking out of my cuticle.

Why did you have your keys in your hand? And how can you trip on an escalator, I was under the impression that Americans never use them as stairs.

That's a bad impression. God damn assholes running up those things.

I like blocking those fuckers.

After the short skirt thing I had difficulty getting men to buy me drinks.  Turns out there's no place that is that poorly lit.
