try to fill yours
Design your own Professional Skills, Knowledge and Experience (PSKE) Portfolio™ to promote your assets to potential employers
Get an interview based on your cover letter alone
Grab the attention of a resume screener or hiring manager within the first 10 seconds of reading a cover letter
Avoid entries on your resume that squash any hope of being called in for an interview
Craft an interview-demanding reverse chronological resume if you want to remain in the same field but want to/need to change employers
Craft an interview-demanding functional resume if you want to move out of one field and into another or if you are a recent college graduate or
have been out of the workforce for some time
Create more than one version of your skill set on your resume
Show returning veterans how to translate military job skills into functional areas of expertise in demand in the civilian job market
Leave potential employers with the most favorable impression of all candidates after your interview
Continue to sell yourself long after the interview
Negotiate the highest possible compensation package without fear
