the job search

I'm still job searching.... in fact today a lady I met with about my search advised me that my resume format was completely wrong. After she explained how I should work to make my resume better, it definitely made sense, but I was hurt/mad that I had been sending that resume out all over the place and it was all worthless because the format I was using, just wasn't good. Then we started talking about cover letters and I told her how I was doing those and I also found out that I just wasn't quite hitting the mark on those either.

So my new project is to start reworking my resume over, but to also keep in mind that with each position I apply for that it is going to need some extensive tweeking. There is no 1 resume that fits all jobs. Also I will need to rework a basic cover letter.............. I better get started, it doesn't get done by itself

If anyone wants any resume making or cover letter information I would more than happy to pass on my new found knowledge.

The book "48 Days to the Work You Love" walks you through cover letters, resumes, pre-resume letters, phone calls, etc. when on the job hunt.
