Your Job Search Starts With Your Resume

The first step toward a job is your resume. Most employers want to see your resume before they'll even consider you for the job. Your resume is a great way to start planning and collecting the necessary information for a successful job search.

That's why Focus/Career starts by helping you build a complete, detailed resume that includes your skills and experience. If you've already written your resume, you can upload or paste it into Focus/Career. We'll help you improve it!

Think of your resume as a work in progress - you can go back and change it to better fit a job match or whenever your situation changes, like completing a training course. Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression... and that's why your resume needs to be the best it can be.
