Resumes
A resume will not get you a job, but it should, must, be good enough to get you an interview.
A resume is just a summary of some thing about you. It never tells a reader everything about you or all the jobs you've ever done before.
'I'm working on my resume' is not a profession. If you are stuck and fed up to the back teeth with your resume....GET SOME HELP. This can be from a friend or relative or from someone at an employment centre - there are many different places to get help.
Ask someone who knows you to look at it. Does it look and sound anything like you? Does it tell any of your story - where you've been, where you might want to go next, a little of who you are?
It should show your journey, in about 15 seconds - the average resume is read for about 15 seconds the first time it's seen - does yours allow a taste of your journey to appear?
