One of the biggest hurdles for most people when they are thinking about applying for a new job is to get their resumes in shape. It can be one of the most angst-ridden activities that anyone can go through. A resume is the chance to show others what you have when you’re not there to tell them yourself, but most people put too much pressure on themselves to be perfect. when they don’t know what perfect is!

Ken,
Thank you about your ideas on how to present multiple and simultaneous part-time work on the resume!
I will never again use phrases like “assisted with” in my resumé.
Thanks Rick and Carol! I’m glad you got some tangible things to improve the resume, but I hope you also got some ideas about overall structure and how the resume functions in the hiring process.
The pointers you gave us – like thinking about what a documentary film crew would see if they followed us around at work – is going to help me bring my resume into the 21st century. Thanks!
Thanks Karen! I thought you in particular would especially resonate with that analogy!
