Need a Job? Edit Your Resume!
With unemployment rising, job hunts have become even more competitive. The president of Greener World Media put it this way:
“The ability to write clearly is important. My business, Greener World Media, helps businesses succeed by being green. We write letters, reports, presentations, e-mails, and more, so I need people who can write clearly and without errors. We’re growing and I recently filled a few new positions. I can’t tell you how many cover letters and resumes I discarded because the applicant didn’t take the time to think about their reader, organize their thoughts, use correct grammar and punctuation, or proofread!”
If you’re on the job market, now is the time to hone your writing skills. Write It Well has a selection of books and workshops to help you improve your professional writing, from cover letters to performance reviews.
