Resume Lab

Get your resume noticed!

The old adage “you only get one chance to make a great

first impression” is true and that includes your resume. Hiring

managers only spend about 30 seconds on a resume when

deciding which resumes they want to review further.

The experts in the Resume Lab will review your resume

and provide you with a personalized detailed review that will

help get your resume to the top of the stack.

They will review your resume for common mistakes like

spelling and grammar, typos, lack of specific details, how to

highlight your accomplishments, improve your objective, what

important information is need, and help with the visual look of

your resume to get your resume noticed.

Our resume experts are provided by:

What to do AFTER the Boot Camp

If you haven’t already done so, create or update your

LinkedIn profile. Be sure to include a link to your LinkedIn

profile on your resume and in your follow up email. This will

allow the recruiter to forward that information on to others in

their organization if they need to.

Send an email thanking the recruiter for speaking with you

within a day or two. Use your notes and business cards you

have from the Job Boot Camp to refresh your memory of

conversations with employers. Mention something about

what you discussed in your email to refresh the recruiter’s

memory of you. Be sure to write the email in formal business

style and not as if you are texting or emailing your friends.

Be sure to follow through on any suggestions on what you

should do next whether it is to apply online, or to contact

someone else in the company, follow up on those next step

items and update them on your progress in your thank you

email. Show the recruiter that you are serious about your job

search and that you are interested and enthusiastic about

working for their organization. Also, stay in touch with the

recruiter and any networking contacts you have made

including on LinkedIn.
