A Quick Note on Resumes and Language

I was at a networking group today. (See, there is that word again!) Afterwards I was talking with one of the ladies in the group. We were discussing her resume and cover letter. Always be positive in the language that you use in both your resume and cover letter. Never use words that are wishy-washy. Phrases like “I guess” or “I think” are not to be used. Be strong and firm, you are damn good at what you do and should not be afraid to say it. Remember, these are your marketing (advertising) tools, make them work for you, not against you.
