Résumés That Get Interviews
Bring your current résumé and leave with a tighter one aimed at the jobs you actually want. This is a working class, not a lecture. You'll edit your own document during our time together and walk out with something better than you came in with, plus a short cover letter template that fits on a few sentences.
This is for job seekers, career changers, and anyone getting back into the workforce after time away. If you've been home with kids or out of work for a stretch and feel like you have nothing to put down, honestly, you have more than you think. You just have to say it in the words hiring people use.
Bring a laptop if you have one. Come ready to cut.
