Hiring managers have plenty of candidates to choose from in the current economic climate. If you get a call that you've got a shot at a job interview, every move counts.

I've been in the IT industry for over 20yrs and I have always written my own resume'. I believe everyone should, but one of the best under-utilized tools for doing so is a little book called "What Color Is My Parachute?" Very few people use it but its a really great little book and they update it yearly, i think. The last one I bought was the 2000 edition and that was the last time I needed it, been in this job going on 9 yrs now. |
