Getting Hired: Insider Tips on Resume Writing, Interviewing and More March 24, 2010

High tech recruiters may have to wade through a hundred resumes or more—every day. If you are job hunting, you need to do everything you can to stand out from the rest of the crowd. Good advice on how to do just that is hard to find. Is there someone whom you can trust? What if you could talk with people who have been looking at resumes for more than ten years? And who have successfully shepherded hundreds of candidates through the contracting or hiring process?

Stout Systems presents a workshop titled Getting Hired: Insider Tips on Resume Writing, Interviewing and More. The workshop is co-presented by Vice President of Operations, Peg Bogema and Technical Talent Specialist, Brian Skory. Enjoy a lively, politically incorrect look at what you can do to improve your odds in the job market. Take away practical knowledge and a new-found confidence in your job hunting activities.
