Welcome to the new, online home of my baby, “Resumakers!”. Having run a small resume-writing business “on the side” (of graduate studies, of work, of life…) for over a year, and after having additionally worked in the job skills training industry for just as long, I’ve finally decided to invest myself and my energy into putting myself out there.
This blog is the fruit of my labor. What do you think so far?
I’m just beginning to get initiated into the whole world of career blogs, job search blogs, resumes blogs, and all the rest, but I’ve already developed a few favorites: check out my blogroll to the right of this post, but especially take a look at Blue Sky Resumes, Brazen Careerist, or Microsoft’s JobsBlog. These three are creative, friendly, informative, and exciting. I can’t wait to join the conversation!
The purpose of this blog, I hope, will be to offer quality and interesting information to job-seekers, with a spin on fresh and innovative techniques. I believe that the job search is a time for (at the risk of sounding corny) soul-searching: you have to decide who you are in this moment, how you want to portray yourself to the outside world, who you want to be, and what you want to do with your life. It takes skill for a person to navigate this period of intense flux and life transition. I want this blog to be a resource for folks who are continuing to learn how, and to be a space for conversation and ideas around important topics in the job search.
Thanks for visiting, and come back soon!
