How to write resume for police dispatcher interview?

I’m applying for a 911 dispatcher job and have already completed my personal history statement, now I have an interview with them and they want me to bring my resume. I’m not sure what to include on my resume I only have pertinent jobs listed not little jobs I had early on in my career that for whatever reason only lasted a few weeks or months. Should I add those jobs to my resume in this case? What would you suggest? thanks

It depends on the time frame you are referring to. I would go back appx 10-15 years if you have that much work experience. If the "little jobs" fill in the gaps of your work history, then by all means include them to justify the gaps. If you are 50 years old and the "little jobs" are when you were 17 years old, then I would not include them. Also keep in mind that what isn’t pertinent to you, may be pertinent to someone wanting to hire you.
Another suggestion would be to get some course certifications that are free of charge and easily completed online. Go to the FEMA site (http://training.fema.gov/IS/) and take some online courses so you can put the certifications on your resume. My agency requires us to take some of the NIMS courses (IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, IS-800).
Good luck!
Multi-tasking, keyboard skills, speaking ability, and ability to handle stress are big positives. Any experience you have, even if it’s small, that shows those skills should be added.
