Are you one of the 12 million Americans now working on a job search (a 25-year high today)? Here are three things to help you get started:
1.) After you take your best shot at making it simple but powerful, get a free professional review and recommendations on your resume from Executive Career Services courtesy of longtime resume expert Steven Provenzano (send it to careers@execareers.net).
2.) Take the information in the new version of your CV and update (or create if you need to) your profile on LinkedIn. Be sure to look at how it appears to the outsider as well as how your name comes up in Google/Yahoo/Altavista.
3.) Next Tuesday, take advantage of Fedex/Kinko's offer to print 25 free copies of your new resume.
- bonus tip: remember to go to sleep an hour early tomorrow and set your clocks to spring-forward this weekend, so your interview doesn't look like this.
