Presidential Resumes

I've been wanting to do this kind of a project for quite some time -- a "mockup" of a resume for a famous person. (On my to-do list: Santa Claus).

Monster's Resume Expert, Kim Isaacs, has produced resumes for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Take a look!

Cover Letter Openings

Congratulations to Abby Locke, of Premier Writing Solutions, for being featured in Kim Isaac's latest article, "New Beginnings For Your Cover Letter." Isaacs is Monster.com's Career Expert.

Locke suggests using the introductory paragraph of the cover letter to suggest three ways your client would add value to an organization. "What core competencies would enable you to excel in the position you're targeting?" Locke asks. "How would the employer benefit from hiring you?"

Locke is also the National Resume Writer's Association's new Certification Chair, having taken over for Sally McIntosh at the first of the year.
