Writing a resume can be challenging, and you probably get tons of varying advice from lots of different people. There really isn’t one way to write a resume, but there are a lot of ways to write an incorrect one. Take bits and pieces of the advice you get, and mold that advice into your own style and resume.

I’ve always been very pro-candidate in my career, meaning I always looked out for the best interest of the candidate no matter what. That can be [...]

Ahh, my poor bro-in-law, on the streets looking for a job again. I feel for him. He’s a college grad, but came out of college at a terrible time, and has bounced around from temp job to temp job for a while. He has a little experience in the mortgage biz now, but has the [...]

I’m balancing on the tight rope of [...]
