Need A Freeper Recommendation on Resume Writing Services
Posted on 06/06/2010 10:49:24 AM PDT by PigRigger
Hi All:
Facing a possible layoff by the end of the year. I wish to be proactive...by getting my resume up-to-date, reviewing my finances...etc...just not sure what other things I should be pursuing...I've never been without a job and haven't had to look for one since college...
I am a Junior Project Manager (Information Systems) with approximately 2 years of experience and have worked at my current company for 25 years (right out of college).
Any recommendations on Professional Resume Writing Services, job sites, and any other subjects/items I will/should be pursuing?
Thanks a head of time....

Google your email address. If it comes up with anything that can used to profile you in any way (conservative, insomniac, complainer), don’t use it!
Get a new email, and use it for job seeking only.
You can lose thousands of dollars by putting an email address on a resume that reveals anything about you. The less the employer knows about you, that has nothing to do with your skills, the better you are.

Perhaps so, but I’m out of this one. Good luck, PR.

Yes, write your own resume. And ensure all words are spelled correctly. I can smell a resume written by a service a mile away and don’t like the smell.

Thanks for the advice....I appreciate it very much...God Bless All Of You...
I pray it doesn't come to this....but all the signs of some significant changes are in the air....and as I've always been...I want to be....as best prepared as humanly possible to deal with it...
I've worked so hard to get where I am now...so many extra hours....so much "blood, sweat, and tears"....and I realize now....even though well respected....that may not even be considered given today's corporate climate....
I actually work for a great company that many would give their right arm to work for....it just shows the time we are living through are not favorable for corporations....and even though we are told that things are getting better....many companies don't see it that way.......
Prayers lifted for all who are facing this....even with my faith....it is ripping me apart inside....
