Blog Post: Need Résumé Help? – Look No Further

I am excited to partner with Jobing.com and bring ideas to help you design and improve your résumé. Look for my weekly blog where I will share hints to create a dynamite résumé that will open the door to the career you seek. Whether you’re a recent college graduate, looking for a promotion, or pursuing a new career path altogether, I will provide some tools to help you get there.

First, let’s cover the basics.

A résumé is:

• The highlights of your professional achievements

• A valuable first impression

• Your career marketing piece

 

A résumé is not:

• A laundry list of EVERY job you’ve ever had

• A place for typos

• An exaggeration of your talents, skills and experience

You have only thirty seconds to convince the employer you are the person they should hire. Spend the time to create a quality document. Consult a professional; hire a résumé writer or interview an expert via a book from the library or bookstore. Many excellent resources are available to help you prepare the right résumé for your particular goals.
