Is your resume falling upon deaf ears?  Have you been applying to professional job openings for months with no response?

In the current job market, with unemployment hovering at around 8.3%, and the "broad unemployment rate" nearly 18%, it is absolutely essential that your resume make you irresistible to hiring managers.  It needs to highlight the skills you can bring to any position, and minimize any liabilities that would keep you from getting an interview.  You need a resume that really tells an employer what you bring to a position that separates you from the crowd.  You need to communicate YOUR STORY.  If you are getting no response from your current resume, you owe it to your career and yourself to attend this free workshop conducted by Tammy Kabell with the executive career firm Career Resume Consulting.

A resume in a functional or skills-based format, in the experience of Tammy Kabell's clients, has been proven to get a higher response from potential employers than a chronological format.  In this two-hour workshop, Tammy will teach you step-by-step how to put together the components of a successful resume.  She will help you identify your skills that can be transferred to multiple industries, as well as resume strategies to overcome obstacles in your search, such as long unemployemnt or advanced experience / age.  Most importantly, Tammy will show you how to craft a resume that truly defines your strengths and achievements, and shows your next employer what you are capable of.
