Hello lowerjumper-ga!

Resume writing is a topic with a lot of coverage on the web, so I
tried to limit the links I gave you to ones that seemed to have decent
content. I?ve included general resume writing tips as well as some
articles about writing a resume when changing careers. I think you?ll
find them quite useful.
