This video serves as a guideline for preparing or refining a resume, one of the several tools used in a job search. Keep in mind that resumes are “seen before they are read” and employers screen resumes to form early impressions of job candidates. Your resume should highlight your skills, abilities and attributes in relationship to the position you are seeking. Before writing your resume, research the organization and review the job description in order to tailor your resume and respond to the organization’s needs.
