I also picked up Resume Maker software to assist you with writing your resume. This software walks you through the process of creating an accomplishments based resume. It also has career help, a virtual interviewing tool, and other helpful career tools. I found this software for under $10.00 at Half Books in Concord; they had several copies of the software on their shelves.

I wrote an article of resume writing tips & techniques while I was searching for someone to replace myself when I left my last company. It may be of interest to some, especially those seeking technical jobs.

Getting help to write your resume and cover letter is a great idea. The thing is too many people spend an hour on their resume in total, send it off and then wonder why they don’t get a call back for an interview! A resume is such an important document that you don’t want to just get any old thing out and about but you have to start somewhere because having all that info stored in your head isn’t going to get you a job interview either. Anything that can help that process along has got to be a step in the right direction.
