If you’re like most job hunters, you are likely unsure where to find some easy resources that will give you some text to wrap around your previous work history. That is why we’ve included just a few quick links that we particularly like to use when searching for resume content when we’re assisting clients. We hope you find them helpful also.
We’ve used some of them to assist job seekers in looking for job descriptions and in general getting some text to wrap around duties and responsibilities they may not have had the words….or had forgotten were part of a long-ago position.
Take a look and see if you don’t agree that the following sites are useful to you as well…
Just to name a few!
We usually assist job seekers by doing some upfront tasks like:
1. Review old position titles for current listings.
- This exercise jogs your memory for relevant duties and tasks that you may have forgotten.
2. Print out any NEW opportunities that sound like they would suit you
- Highlight the responsibilities you immediately see are your core competencies *this also shows by ommission those that you may need to consider whether you can learn or whether they are willing to pay your training to become more proficient in doing.
3. Placing the existing chronological work history into a new format
-The act of doing this really can make the old – NEW again and you can see glaring errors or ommissions as well.
We really hope these “upfront tasks” help you to prepare for your resume review or re-write. If you are still having trouble, refer to the Inquiry and Profile Forms from the website.
As always, we would be honored to be YOUR professional resume writing service. Feel free to contact us if we can be of any assistance whatsoever.
