Does your résumé feature an endorsement? by Nimish Thakkar - Aug, 2010 Celebrity and customer endorsements -- those attention-grabbing testimonies and user accounts on popular commercials -- have also been used to make candidate résumés meatier, minus the celebrities of course. Career coaches and professional résumé writers often showcase snippets of employer, client, vendor, or peer comments to give client résumés extra punch, and hiring managers something memorable. “Testimonials are powe... |

5 Mistakes Job Seekers Make on their Resume by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 I’m sitting in front of my computer trying to think of a new way to say the same things I’ve already said a million times.
