I am offering again my twice-a-year FREE community service at Trinity Church
in Princeton ( <http://www.trinityprinceton.org/> trinityprinceton.com) in
the form of a Résumé Tune-up and LinkedIn Profile Workshop. Participants
will walk away with knowledge about such things as the résumé read by humans
versus the résumé scanned by software, how to avoid common résumé mistakes
that put yours into the proverbial black hole, the elements that constitute
an effective résumé, and where to look for the right keywords for your job
search. In addition, you'll learn many pertinent tips for résumé
improvements. And we'll discuss what constitutes an effective LinkedIn
profile.

Who is this workshop for? It is recommended mostly for those currently in
transition and those considering changing jobs.

Where: Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540

When: TUESDAY, June 17, 2014, from 1 p.m. to about 4 p.m.

detailed instructions about parking and so on.
