In my 30 years in this field I have met many wonderful customers who just don't believe in themselves. They either work somewhere that has a negative workplace culture, or for horrible supervisors who constantly criticize them. After a while, they start to doubt themselves. I have always believed that there is a very special talent in each of us. U...

Read MoreIn my 30 years in this field, I have met so many wonderful customers who don't believe in themselves. They work in negative cultures, or for horrible supervisors who constantly criticize them. After a while, they start having self-doubt. I have always believed that there is a very special talent in each of us. Unfortunately, many never discover it,...
Read MoreI am often amazed at what employers will pay for outplacement services, often as high as $5,000 per employee. It's as if they believe they're getting screwed unless they pay through the nose. I have a bulletin for these employers, "ridiculously high outplacement fees do not equal quality". At Resumes Etc, we charge a fraction of what others charge...

The first thing is to ensure that you are in a "value added" vs non value added role. These are roles that contribute to either cost efficiencies, revenue growth or customer retention. Also, try to move from a recession sensitive position a...

They are the ones who put ego aside and realize that they don't have all the answers. They understand that when it comes to achieving their career goals, they are better served by working with recognized experts in the field. The end...

Do you have a strong LinkedIn profile? How aggressive is your job search? Does your resume match the jobs you are applying to? The goal is to make certain that every box is check...
Read MoreThere is now a whole new approach to resumes. In the past, resumes focused on experience, skills, education and accomplishments. These are still important components of a resume. However, employers are now placing as much emphasis on character and values. Given this fact, Resumes Etc has created the "360 resume". It paints a broad picture of our c...
Read More1) Having a resume that is poorly written and/or not keyworded. 2) Having skills and experience that are not focused in a particular area, but spread out among many different disciplines. 3) A lack of accomplishments. 4) A resume that is confusing and/or ambiguous where the reader isn't quite sure what it is that you do.
Read MoreThe economy is sending mixed messages with negative GDP and excellent job creation. This is a clear indicator of an economy struggling to achieve growth vs decline. Gas prices are coming down, and interest rates on 30 year fixed mortgages dropped below 5%. In addition, some companies have reported way better than expected profits in the 2nd quarter...
