Effective resume writing:
Your resume makes your first impression an employer. If it is poorly written with errors, too long or incomplete you will be passed over. This brief resume writing tool will help you to master the art of telling who you are in a concise yet complete way. (Request pamphlet)
Interview preparation:
Preparing for your interview is more then knowing who you are meeting with, the job title and looking at the employer's web site. Most candidates spend little or no time reviewing their past experience or anticipating tough questions. This extensive interview preparation guide provides many of the most common questions asked in an interview and suggests answers. In addition it includes a helpful checklist of things to do before and after the interview. To request an information pamphlet please us.
Reference selection:
Before a company offers you a job they will want to check your references. You have many options when it comes to references. You need to understand which of your potential references will be good references and why you want a potential employer to speak to them. This pamphlet will explain the practical and strategic aspects of selecting a reference, when you need to contact them and what they need to be prepared to say on your behalf.

What you want in your next job:
It makes no sense to change jobs if you are stuck with the same commute, the same overtime or the same go-nowhere opportunity. This pamphlet will help you to better articulate and stay focused on what is most important to you in your next career opportunity. This is a must, especially for people who want to avoid repeated career missteps. To request an information pamphlet please us.
