Resume Writing

You cannot be modest on a resume--you have to state skills, abilities, energies, interests, aptitudes, dedication, motivation, and willingness to make contributions. Discovering what makes you special is part of the resume development process. Professional resume consultants are available to help you with this process. Focus on what you are and what you can be; do not focus on what you are not. Do not pigeonhole your professional self by identifying yourself only by your job title--that only reflects basic skills. Focus instead on the specific skills that you developed through application of those basic skills. Know your interests, demonstrate your qualities, and identify your accomplishments.
