I'm having trouble writing my resume. It's all done except for my last job description. I don't know what to write for my responsibilities/job role due to the fact that the most of the work that I did for the police can't be shared. Don't know what to write and the closing date for submissions is tomorrow

In broad strokes, what were you doing for the police?
did you deal with the public?
Were you working with sensitive materials?
Did you have tight schedules to meet?
Did you work on your own? Part of a group?
Computer work?

In broad strokes, what were you doing for the police? - I can't go into any detail, best I can say is that I monitored Blue card holders and did back ground checks on blue card applicants but that's not a very good indicator of the work I did.

did you deal with the public? - No, only other units and government departments

Were you working with sensitive materials? - Yes

Did you have tight schedules to meet? - I guess, but I always had a higher work rate then the others in the team so I never really had to worry about getting things finished in time.

Did you work on your own? Part of a group? - Both

Computer work? - All police specific software/programs

But how do I make that sound good?

@ LOKI

I would say to stress the responsibility aspect of your job. Which goes to show you can be trusted with sensitive work.

Something along the lines of,
I was entrusted with researching and assimilating sensitive data from multiple government/federal sources.

@Loki: if you still have the job ad or position description from your work there you should be able to use that as a base. Shiara is pretty good at that stuff and if you want a HR eye on it I am happy to help.

and on topic: I had a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE day at work today - and I am working at home right now just to get things under control.

HMMMMM.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I didn't notice the bottle of wine I'd bought for her had a motif of a nekkid lady on the front tending to some vines.

My charity underspent on it's main grant (read the one that keeps it afloat)..... by 50%. Big meeting on monday with the grants officer travelling 200 miles or so for it. Worst case scenario funding could go, along with my job on that basis. Dammit.

That is simple. Just mention that you worked for the police in a detail orientated role which you cannot speak any further about. If it is a team setting or time managerment or something, mention that as well.
