How to WOW! Resumes

Saturday, Nov. 16th @ 11 am
​Have you ever felt that the resumes you have submitted online are sitting in an Internet Black Hole somewhere? Don’t know what to do about it? If so, you are not alone. In fact, many of the people who have turned to me for help with their resumes have admitted to this frustration. When so much is riding on the success of your resume gaining attention and follow-up by hiring managers and hiring recruiters, knowing how to optimize your resume is critical.

While there is no guarantee that any one formula will transform your resume into an interview-generating powerhouse, there is one thing for sure: if your current resume is not resulting in callbacks and interviews, then it could stand improvement.

So, is it time for your own personal resume makeover? To get the results you really want from your resume (a job interview), start with a bit of learning. Join my one-hour presentation on How-to-WOW! Resumes.
