“I have a resume and cover letter, but it is very old and needs updating.”
“I have a resume, but I am making a transition from one career/industry to another, and need help to explain that and make myself marketable.”
“I have applied to hundreds of jobs and am not getting calls for interviews.”
Resume and Cover Letter Rebuild
“I do not have a resume. It has been so long since I have done one, that I don’t know where to start. Can you give me information so I can write my resume, and then work with me to review and improve it?”

Interview Skills
The interview is your chance to make a great first impression, once your resume and cover letter get you in the door.
