Stand out from the Crowd

So you think your resume is ready for prime time? The first impression you make with an employer often comes from your resume, so you want its impression to be a winner to prompt a call for an interview. Sadly, many job seekers endeavor to write their own resume, which fails to produce the powerful impact it needs to get you in the door. And since your resume is your career sales tool to market your qualifications, yours could be costing you jobs. In fact, only 15-30% of job seekers communicate their qualifications

                                                                  effectively to potential employers.

• Does your resume and cover letter lack something, but not sure what it is?
• Do you wish you could get current information from a "HR insider" to walk you through the resume writing process.
