Resources: Guide to Writing Unbeatable Resumes

The Resume.com Guide to Writing Unbeatable Resumes
===========================================
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and reviewing of resumes
for my Ticket clients. I recently purchased “The Resume.com
Guide to Writing Unbeatable Resumes.” What a GREAT book!
Since I’m always looking to brush up my own skills and to find
additional resources, this book had an excellent and easy to
follow step-by-step guide for creating resumes.
One of the tips I liked a lot was the use of headlines. Some of
you may use headlines in your client resumes already, but for
those of you who don’t, a headline is used instead of a resume
objective, giving your client the opportunity up front to let an
employer know how he/she can solve a problem. It’s also a
much more powerful introduction than an objective to who they
are and what they can do.
I bought the book at Borders, so I imagine most book stores, as
well as Amazon.com, will carry it. The best part about it is that it
was only a $12.95 investment. If you’re looking to build on your
skills or expand your library, this book would be a great
addition.
Disability Resources – Think Beyond the Label (SM)
admin 11 Mar 2010 | : Resources, Service Provision
According to their website, Think Beyond the Label (SM) is a partnership between health and human service and employment agencies with federal grants, coming together to build a national infrastructure and approach that connects employers with qualified candidates with disabilities. Put simply, their goal is to raise awareness that hiring people with disabilities makes good business sense. There are statewide tools and resources, success stories, and ways to “spread the word.” I’ve heard reports that they are also running a marketing campaign in select states.
When you have a moment, stop by their website and check them out!
