My resume writing advice was featured in this week’s WorkWise, a nationally syndicated column by Dr. Mildred L. Culp that can be found online and in print nationally from Connecticut to California. This week’s topic was about countering the recession’s presence in your résumé.
This recession has put job seekers in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place to work from when seeking new employment. There are strategies I share with my clients to help them with their mindset, know what hiring managers want to see on résumés and hear in interviews, all culminating together to achieve the highest results during a career change.
There is an abundance of relevant information in the recent WorkWise article that all job seekers can benefit from. One suggestion I shared is: “…to specify exactly what organizational change sent you packing. If you were part of a group let go, put in the number of employees. Other possibilities…are “stating your department was rolled into another one, there were redundancies post-acquisition or a company shifted its strategy…”
You can read the full column here at The Modesto Bee.

A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do think that you should write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don’t speak about these issues. To the next! Best wishes!!

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for beginner blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

Hi Madeline,
I find it helpful to schedule out ideas for posts so I have a framework from which to work. I also tend to find it more productive to write several posts at once when I’m “in the zone.” Best of luck to you!
