Preparing Your Resume

Laughing all the Way to Work

One of the things I remember, and have put to good use, was a workshop on resume writing. I hope this will help you to write your resume if you are looking for a job or if you just need to update your old resume. In resume writing it is suggested that any experience over 10 years is too old to put on your resume.

Practice makes perfect

Laughing all the Way to Work

Whenever I go on an interview, I set up a mock interview with a friend and we go over questions that might come up. It is the time spent practicing for the interview that helps.

Should I stay or should I go?

Laughing all the Way to Work

I am in the process of developing testing for admin interviews and I really enjoyed doing that. It is always good to do an evaluation of your job and you may come away from the exercise deciding to put your resume out and look for something else or you may come away encouraged in your present job. I also like creating job manuals.
