FIND your own JOB –Resume Tip to make You Standout
This caught my eye today. Rep Jeb Hensarling of Texas said “Americans are still asking ‘WHERE ARE THE JOBS?’ but all the are getting from Washington is more spending, more taxes, more debt, and more bailouts.”
At least one person in Congress gets it! Now we need the other hundreds to step up to the plate and listen to the smart ones who have a solution — we need smart doers and fixers not political party aligners. Can’t wait for them to do nothing –you got to help yourself. So today’s task is improving our resume.
JOB SEARCH tip of the DAY: Today review your resume..if you haven’t done this yet, take the resume assessment quiz to see how well you’ve done in creating a resume that employers will notice. Next, find the 3 or 4 of our statements about our accomplishments and consider how they are written? Do they show our action and the result you achieved? For example action: Led the annual fundraiser implemented silent auction, new procurement initiatives …Result: raised 18% more than any previous year over function’s 22 year history.
