January 13, 2022 - BCPL Resume Tips


Welcome back, resume warriors! Here's another edition of Brooke County Libraries resume tips.

Resume Tip #15

Beware of "free" resume sites!

If you google search how to's on resumes, you are destined to find a site that promises you a free template. Unfortunately, many will let you type in all your info and organize it. Only to apply a charge when you go to save it or print it.

You are better off to copy the advice or the formatting as best you can in a word program on your phone or computer. For example, use the same template for sections and details on the website in Microsoft Word, Jarte, or Google Docs.

Don't fall into the trap of "free" resume sites! Be careful to check the fine print before losing the time and effort of entering your employment details.

Remember, your local library has a lot of experiencd helping job seekers of all ages. Don't be afraid to ask them for advice!
