Getting Started

Your resume is a marketing tool that lists a summary of your qualifications for employment. It will typically let the reader know what type of position you are seeking and will highlight your education, experience, skills, abilities and other relevant information. The best way to determine what should be included on your resume is to ask yourself what the potential employer would want to know about you to consider you for the position. The main goal/purpose of the resume is to get you an interview.

Our Employment Skills Training program will assist you in doing just that. By the end of the program, you should be able to compose a resume:

• With the employer’s needs and interests in mind

• That is professional in appearance

• That is job specific

• With an honest and clear demonstration of your skills, abilities and achievements

• Clearly written to convey to the employer, what you offer
