RESUME TIPS

Recent college graduates or the soon-to-graduate should make use of any career resources available through your college career center. That includes resume writing and review. Colleges and professors often have eco-industry connections, so do a little digging and see if you can get a referall or a reference to any likely employers. Who you know is every bit as important as what you've learned in today's tight job market. Don't forget to create a personal contacts list before leaving school in order to stay in touch with classmates and instructors who may later be employed with companies that might hire you. Graduating is just a beginning, not an ending.

Creating a job-getting resume is not an easy task. Sometimes you need help. Online resources give guidelines and illustrate the latest writing techniques. Don't forget that creating a resume for a government job is vastly different than creating a resume for a job in the private sector. Study examples of job-winning resume and go for that dream job.

Resume Place

This site has had really essential information about completing Federal job applications in the past. I think the information is still available online, but you may have to dig. Definitely review Troutman's articles. I don't own any of her books, but based on the advice I've gleaned from her web site, I'd certainly consider it if I was hunting for a federal job. Preparing a federal resume can be a daunting task.
