WHAT IS A RESUME?
A resume is a document that provides a concise outline of your job-related experiences and academic background. The purpose of a resume is not to get you a job, but to get you an interview. Resumes are a screening device for employers so they can decide whether you are someone they would like to meet and learn more about. Think of your resume as your favorite commercial: how can you present yourself best? Know your audience and target what you can offer them!

GETTING STARTED
Job seekers need current, reliable, LOCAL information to find job openings, community services, company background, job search advice. What could be better than the Web, which hosts so much information and delivers it in seconds?

If you're just beginning the process of building your resume, you'll need to construct a framework first. Below you will find several online resource links to individual sites focusing on the experience of writing a professional resume.

What exactly is age discrimination at work? It's many things, and the legal protection starts at age 40. It includes refusing to hire or promote older workers, coercing them to retire, targeting them when a work force reduction is necessary, curtailing their employee benefits, and limiting their training opportunities, job responsibilities and duties. Whether it's blatant or subtle, it's discrimination and it's against the law.
