I have been involved in creating and consulting on resumes for many years. My first exposure was working part-time for an Employment Agency in Dayton, Ohio while I was in high school. I was exposed to writing resumes there, and had some great teachers who had been in the business for many years.
Later, I did some resume writing while in the Navy. During the time I was in, '52 to '56, many "old timers" were getting out. They had been in during WWII and did not like the "new Navy" as they called it. Later on, I was with an employment agancy and was heavily involved in writing resumes for a variety of applicants.
My point, resume format has not changed in all those years. A resume is an AD for a person, and must have format and content to "whet" the appitite of the reader in a very short period of time, 20 seconds to a minute, the outcome being, an interview.
It is the "sizzle" that catches the eye of the reader, not the steak.
I have been in the process of writing an EBook for some time now, and hope to have it completed soon. It will be available from a number of sources, primarily my WEBSITE.
I have been asked by a number of people in the past to recommend a source for A. A good Resume and B. Good exposure to the market. I have always recommended THIS SITE. I have always found them very "up front" and they deliver what they advertise.
I also have had a blog THE RESUME WORKS and periodically post information on the blog. Much of it is material I have accumulated over the years.
If you have any questions, or need advice on writing a resume, EMAIL me.
Sizzle sells!
