What Is a Resume?   [Excerpt below is from www.thoughtco.com; link included below]

A resume is a compilation of your work experience, academic experience, and accomplishments. Resumes are usually used by employers and admissions committees who want to know more about a particular candidate. 

Effective vs. Ineffective Resumes 
The main difference between an ineffective resume and an effective resume is that an ineffective resume gets ignored, and an effective resume leads to a follow-up phone call of interview request.

Searching for a Career?

Are you thinking about a career change, or attempting to determine what career you are best suited for? In either case, Careeronestop.org can help by offering you the opportunity to take a few assessments. 

[The excerpt below is taken From Careeronestop.org]

Assessments can help you choose a good career fit. Career assessment is a way to learn more about how well a variety of careers might suit you. Each assessment focuses on a specific area, such as skills, interests, or values. Typically, an assessment asks you to answer questions about what you like, don't like, what’s important to you, and what your strengths are.

Since assessment results may relate to as many as 900 different occupations, don't panic if your results include careers that don't interest you. Experts recommended that you take more than one assessment to broaden your ideas before you make a decision. It can also be helpful to talk with a career counselor, family and friends before making a career decision.
