Stand Out From The Crowd – Your Resume
Your resume is often the first impression a employer has of you. It has the power to open doors for you – and if done correctly it will help you stand out.
A resume should include your objectives, your skills & training, work experience and past accomplishments.
I always recommend hiring someone who writes resumes for a living – they know what to include, what to put where and the importance of keywords etc.
