One the most overlooked items with respect to the job search is the phone screen.  Many job seekers appreciate the face-to-face interview, but few focus on how to proceed through this often undervalued meeting.

We had a question from a client regarding the Interests and Activities section of the resume.  The client wanted to know if we should include some details in this section, here was our response:

I think most of my clients have noticed several resume writing certifications that have popped up over the years.  The main ‘company’ is the PARW/CC, or the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Coaches.

One of the most popular question our clients ask is related to why resumes are rejected by resume screeners aka recruiters, aka HR, aka hiring managers etc.
