Resume Writing Tips Introduction


Posted By on Dec 7, 2013

Your resume is a brief introduction of your skills, career experiences, abilities and education. I stress that brief is the operative word here. A resume is not an abbreviated Autobiography of your life in Education and the workplace. Your resume is a preview, if you will, of who you are and what you “have”. It is meant to “attract” the reader to read on, and ultimately to invite you to meet with them.It is my goal to provide you with the tools you need, along with examples and worksheets to assist you in creating a resume that will capture the readers’ attention, and get you that interview.
