[Job-Discussions] Take time with resumes

[jordanandseptember at gmail.com]

I have to highly disagree with you.  The cover letter should be customized
not the resumÉ.  I have gotten all my jobs including ones I did not accept
that way.  Also, I have had companies try to recruit me solely based on my
rather well put together resumÉ.  At this point, I am not really even
worrying about finding a job since I have one and could soon have offers for
my businesses to get started on.

Hi Everyone,

Once again I want to remind all of you to take the time and effort necessary
to produce a well-written resume that is targeted to the job for which you
are applying. It takes more time and effort, but it greatly increases your
chances of getting an interview. 

Read the job posting carefully and customize your resume so that it shows
the knowledge, skills, and abilities you have that make you a good, or
hopefully perfect, fit for the job. Your cover letter offers you a less
formal way to explain why you are a good fit for the job. Take time with it
too. 

And always check your resume and cover letter for mistakes. Microsoft Word
has an excellent editor. Have someone else critique it for you. I continue
to be amazed by how many people, sighted and blind, do not take the time to
do this.
