The 20 Minute Resume Clinic
It's amazing how a little 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper can be representative of your entire career, advocate for an interview on your behalf, and generally be your proxy while a bunch of tough minded hiring managers pick apart the only clues they have about you, your experience, and your work ethic.
Sending your resume out to do your bidding, especially in a competitive industry should not be take lightly. Weather you are just dusting off an old resume or have had it professionally written recently, we'd like to suggest that you go through our 20 minute resume clinic. I can almost guarantte that once you finish, you will be considering a significiant change or two on your current resume.
