How to WOW! Resumes- Saturday, November 16th at 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 on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Algoma Public Library, 406 Fremont Street in Algoma, Wi.

November's book is That Churchill Woman by Stephanie Barron. This book will be discussed on Tuesday, November 19th at 5 pm.
​Book Description: 
When the 19-year-old beauty agrees to marry the son of a duke she has known only three days, she's instantly swept up in a whirlwind of British politics and the breathless social climbing of the Marlborough House Set, the reckless men who surround Bertie, prince of Wales. Raised to think for herself and careless of English society rules, the new Lady Randolph Churchill quickly becomes a London sensation: adored by some, despised by others.
​
Artistically gifted and politically shrewd, she shapes her husband's rise in Parliament and her young son's difficult passage through boyhood. But as the family's influence soars, scandals explode and tragedy befalls the Churchills. Jennie is inescapably drawn to the brilliant and seductive Count Charles Kinsky - diplomat, skilled horse racer, deeply passionate lover. Their affair only intensifies as Randolph Churchill's sanity frays, and Jennie - a woman whose every move on the public stage is judged - must walk a tightrope between duty and desire. Forced to decide where her heart truly belongs, Jennie risks everything - even her son - and disrupts lives, including her own, on both sides of the Atlantic.

​​Book Description:
In the autumn of 1960, Angie Glass is living an idyllic life in her Wisconsin hometown. At twenty-one, she’s married to handsome, charming Paul, and has just given birth to a baby boy. But one phone call changes her life forever.

When Paul’s niece, Ruby, tells them that her father, Henry, has committed suicide and her mother, Silja, has gone missing, the newlyweds drop everything to be by Ruby’s side in the small upstate town of Stonekill, New York.

Angie thinks they’re coming to the rescue of Paul’s grief-stricken young niece, but seventeen-year-old Ruby, self-possessed and enigmatic, resists Angie’s attempts to nurture her. While taking up residence in Henry and Silja’s eerie, ultra-modern house on the edge of the woods, Angie discovers astonishing truths about the complicated Glass family. As she learns about Henry and Silja’s spiraling relationship, and Ruby’s role in keeping them together, and apart, Angie begins to question the very fabric of her own marriage.

As details of the past unfold and Ruby dissects her parents’ state of affairs, the Glass women realize what they’re capable of when it comes to love, secrets, and ultimate betrayal.​
