Some of you here may know my previous posts and rants on the auto repair industry, I'm a Euro tech by trade and hopefully will be moving on soon to a better career outside of this. But of course there are some hurdles to overcome.

Since December 2010, I have completed training classes in electronics and electronic security and obtained certifications. These were boot-camp style courses. I have also passed and obtained my DCJS card - (department of criminal justice) for electronic technician to work in Virginia.

As I update my new resume my problem is my work history. It has been a tumultuous (sp?) 11 years. I have had many jobs as a tech and it (to me) looks suspect. As in: why so frequent job changes? To clarify, When the money (work) ran out or someone decided they needed more of my cut, I left. I always left of my own choosing, never fired. My compensation 100% commission and very volatile even when the economy is good. It's mostly for this reason I am getting out.

I am afraid that if I list all the places I've worked, I will not get past either the HR software or the person that actually views it before I can explain. I feel that it is an ethical issue on my part that will be discovered anyway if I don't list all when I give them my SS# and I believe most HR software does bring up credit report and work history through the tax information.

Anyone here have experience with this or comment - thanks

Other than this I have composed an excellent technical resume (with professional help) with great references.
