Using Literary Techniques To Make Your Resume More Interesting by Debra Wheatman - Apr, 2010 What word is this? Resume Without the appropriate context, we don't know. If I put it in a sentence, "If you want the job you better brush up your resume" you immediately know what I am talking about.

Unemployment Got You Down? Build Up Your Skills! by Dawn Lennon - Mar, 2010 Being unemployed is your big break. Why? Because you can finally focus all your time on yourself — your future.
