Resume Makeover

This month has been a busy month for John and myself as the?amount of resumes we have been asked to critique has been amazing.? There must be a job fair coming up or something.? Actually, there is in the Long Beach, CA?area for students at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).? They have the Meet the Industry Expo??next week, which is a job fair specifically for Business students at CSULB.? It’s a good opportunity for them to meet companies such as Ameriprise Financial Services, Bank of America, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Target.? Tomorrow is the resume deadline for all students wanting to include their resumes in the MIE Book that all employers will receive.??You know these are college students because?they?love to procrastinate.??They have waited?until the last minute to?bombard us?with requests for resume critiques.

As you may or may not recall, December 1st, 2006?was the day we received Our First Resume Request.???That’s about the time when Career Ramblings?was getting about 75-100 readers a day.? I almost forgot how few people would come to our site for helpful resources like Negotiating, Researching Companies, Resume Tips, Interview Etiquette, and soon to come, Amazing Cover Letters.? In deed, Career Ramblings has developed into a growing network, wonderful resources and a interactive atmosphere.? Some of those that have contributed to our popularity are our readers, top commentators and advertisers.? I’d like to take this time to thank all of you for your participation and engagement with us.? Please pay our advertisers and top commentators a visit, let them know Jane sent you
