A great resume is an essential tool in any reinvention. Crafting a good one takes a lot of skill; our eBook, Reinvent Your Resume!, covers the mechanics of customizing your resume for your reinvention. But when our clients need someone to do a complete rewrite, we often send them to Louise Fletcher at BlueSky Resumes (we also love the work of Abby Locke at Premier Writing Solutions and recommend her too!).
Louise writes a wonderful blog filled with no-nonsense resume tips; her most recent post debunks the myth that your resume must contain every detail of your work and educational history. The bottom-line litmus test she recommends is this: for every detail, ask yourself 'does this piece of information make it more likely that I will get interviews?' If the answer is no, lose it!

NOTE TO READERS: We're moving! Our offices will be closed next week during the move; if the stars align and the phone company, movers and workmen all show up as scheduled, I'll be back to the blog around August 27th. Our new address: 777 NW 72nd Avenue, Suite 3138, Miami, FL 33126 (our 800# will remain the same).
Wish us luck!
