Create an exceptional résumé that helps you compete successfully for the job you want. Whether you're revising your résumé or starting from scratch, we'll help you identify and promote your most marketable skills and strengths. We'll "weigh" every word and evaluate and improve every element, including content, flow, tone, typography, layout, and overall presentation. Through individual and group exercises, examples, critiques, and dozens of guidelines, you'll find out how to see your résumé as employers see it, and how to turn it into what they're looking for. In this intensive workshop, you'll also find out how to:

• Rethink and reframe the benefits you bring to an employer
• Customize your résumé and cover letter for each targeted employer in just a few meaningful strokes
• Sell yourself as the hot commodity you are
• Neutralize bad news or even turn it into an advantage
• Build or rebuild from the ground up
• Polish to a shine

NOTE: If you have a résumé and sample cover letter, please bring an electronic and a least one printed copy of each to class.
