The Employment Doctor: Pia Abdul-Aziz
So you finally decide to take the time out of your "busy" schedule to look at different jobs and fill out some applications. You get though all of the dreaded demographic and work history questions and now it asks for you to upload your RESUME! dun dun dun! This is the part where most of us either skip over or stop all together. Either way you have screwed yourself over. If you decide not to add your resume it shows that A:you can't follow directions or B: you aren't professional enough to own a proper resume. In either case you are most likely left without a job.
A decent resume can be the catalyst in you landing your dream job, ultimately changing your life. Some of the biggest issues seen in a lot of people's resumes include improper formatting and irrelevant info. Both big no-no's.

Another area that people often overlook during the job hunting process is the thank you letter. Thank you letters can be that deciding factor between you and another equally-qualified candidate. Thanking a prospective employer for allowing you to interview with him or her shows your professionalism and attention to detail.
Have no Fear. There are resumes, thank you letters and so much more to this whole job-hunting thing. It can all be a bit confusing and overwhelming and some of you may not even no where to start, but fear not, I know a young lady who has it down to a science and has all the questions to your job-hunting needs, helping you to land that dream job!
