Recession Buster Resume Tip #1

As promised, I will spend some time over the next few weeks on the evolution of the resume as the recession hopefully starts to diminish. Certainly, this is a work in progress and your comments and suggestions will be graciously entertained at any time!

My first tip is extremely simple. Stick to the basic format that has worked best for you in the past. For example, if you found that an overview summary caught hiring managers attention, keep it there but be conscious of the fact that some of the bullets may need adjustment to reflect our lean and mean economy. You may have to demonstrate more of a willingness to multitask and be sure to include any recent training you have taken.

That is enough for one night. Look at this process as another self assessment and learning experience rather than as an unpleasant task!
