Most applications are done online, which changes things so much. The neatly typed resume and format is not necessary with electronic submissions. But the basic information and being honest with your qualifications IS important. <br />Wednesday Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125647693828663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-71805538549489947322019-08-26T16:55:34.486-05:002019-08-26T16:55:34.486-05:00I agree, Olivia, that this book might be useful wh...I agree, Olivia, that this book might be useful when seeking volunteer work.

I actually hired a professional to do it and it cost a lot of money! It was excellent though. I suspect I would need a lot of help with a new resume if I tackled the job market again.
