RÉSUMÉ INSPECTION

Each time you create a version of your résumé it seems there is a reason to revise it.  Sometimes a prospective employer causes you to consider changing, deleting or adding a small piece.  Sometimes an advisor suggests a revision you hadn’t considered before, which just might make a significant difference.

In today’s electronically sophisticated environment, there is nothing wrong with various versions for various reasons, as long as you have a method to keep track of where each is sent.

During the résumé inspection, ideas are shared, different styles exhibited, variations are reviewed and everyone leaves enriched by the experience.  This is the time to practice the oral résumé and share the written résumé … and receive positive, helpful feedback to improve both.  It is a time to encourage and be encouraged.

·        What does one do if they think their résumé might need a few improvements?

·        If still not comfortable with an oral résumé, where can one go to get help?

·        Is it possible that others might be able to help improve both résumés?

 

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…”      Hebrews 10:25

 

“Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.”   

Proverbs 19:27
