Writing a Résumé
It is easy to get confused about writing a resume. There are thousands of books on the subject and each offers slightly different advice. In addition, most professionals have written a resume and are willing to offer their opinion. With that in mind, here are some answers to typical questions. The best approach is to work up a rough draft and then schedule a time to have our staff review the resume with you.
If you don't have time for an appointment but you want to have your resume looked over our Resume Critique Service is designed for you! Just mail or drop off your resume at the Fredericksburg campus and allow three working days for it to be reviewed by a counselor...then come by to pick it up or request that we mail it back to you.
