creating THE BEST RESUME FOR FEDERAL or PRIVATE SECTOR ROLES

April networking with purpose event

If you are considering new positions or a transition between the federal government and the private sector, the right resume can make the difference.  However, the content, structure, and format of effective resumes in these two sectors could not be more different.  Translating your accomplishments, abilities, and strengths from one type of resume to another is often a significant obstacle for today's job seekers.

Join two experts in the field who will review the qualities of successful resumes in these areas, and discuss how you can avoid common mistakes that may prevent you from being considered by potential employers.

Speakers:
