Securing the Talents of America's Veterans
Your resume speaks for you – so what is it saying?
Capturing one’s talents and personality on a sheet or two of paper is the first challenge for many job seekers. There are many books and websites devoted to crafting an effective resume, and all agree that there is no “perfect” resume: how yours will be interpreted depends on the quality of your presentation, the job for which you’re applying, and even who is reading it.
Rather than think of your resume as a completed document, consider it a continual work in progress. Every job and every company is different, so craft your career objectives in response to the job description, and emphasize strengths that best match the posted position. Hiring managers often receive hundreds of resumes for each open position, so the closer you match their criteria, the better chance you’ll have.
