Construction Worker

Many people think that a resume is only for white collar jobs. On the contrary, in our changing job market almost everyone will need a resume, including most blue collar workers.

The resume is a selling tool that outlines your skills and experiences so an employer can see, at a glance, how you can contribute to the employer’s workplace.

The goal of an effective resume is to highlight and summarize a person’s qualifications.
