1. ARTICLE: ACCOMPLISHMENT-ORIENTED RÉSUMÉS GET RESULTS!
Your résumé is a marketing tool to sell a product-you! Like any advertisement, a well-written résumé must entice the reader to buy the product. In this case, you want the employer to offer you an interview. Your job search documents (résumé, references, and cover letters) must show you in the best possible light. Just as there are truths in advertising laws, there is a universal law of résumé writing-always tell the truth. To read the full article, visit:
