Who needs a resume?

Who Needs A Resume? Are you returning to the workforce? Position been eliminated? Recent graduate or college student? Then you need an effective resume!

Anyone who is currently in job search knows the confusion and uncertainty in developing an effective resume.

Students who are in search of internship opportunities and recent college graduates face the same dilemma.

Perhaps you or someone you know is returning to the workforce and unsure how to "frame" that time period on a resume.

What is valuable and relevant for YOUR resume?  There is no "cookie-cutter" approach, but there are some rules and certainly trends that employers look for today.  Accomplishments vs. Responsibilities - what is the best approach?  A combination of both with an easy-to-read format!

As a career coach for more than a decade and a diverse background prior to that, I am truly passionate about helping others discover the right job and the right career path. 

I am presenting a FREE Resume Writing seminar at the Sayville Library, Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7pm.

Attendees will learn a simple, methodical approach to building an effective  resume focused on the skills, knowledge and achievements relevant to the career goals.

Many internal and external recruiters use "key word searches" and "applicant tracking software" (ATS) to streamline their selection process -- learn about these recruitment techniques and how to increase the opportunity to be selected.

Should you have a one or two page resume?

How can I showcase my skills and stand out from the crowd?

How far back should my experience be detailed?  How will my lengthy experience be viewed? 

What if I have gaps in employment or short term jobs?

These questions and many more will be addressed on Tuesday evening.  I welcome you to join me at the Sayville Library for this 90 minute informational session.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
