September 2008
Greetings!
 
We are thrilled to bring you this first issue of the BullsEye Career Ezine!
 
When we planned a fall launch of this newsletter, we really did not imagine how timely this employment and job search information would be for our readers from high school students to Baby Boomers and beyond.  With 6.1% unemployment rate and more bad news and job losses on Wall Street, our goal is to help readers keep careers on track and stay focused on the job front. 
 
I invite you to share this free newsletter with others.  However, if you are a nonprofit or for profit organization and want to share this content, we ask that you let us know with a quick email to mr@bullseyeresumes.com.  
 
Moving forward, we welcome your feedback through comments on BullsEye career blogs, questions or ideas you have on topics you want us to address or discuss.
In the meantime - stay focused!

Looking for a Job? Make it easy for Employers to Find You. Having the correct contact information on your resume is important to moving forward in the job search process. It is important that this section of your resume is free from typos, errors or omissions.  It must be current and attractive enough to engage the recruiter in a 20-30 second resume power scan. Bad contact information is one reason recruiters discard resumes from great candidates.  Use this checklist to proofread the contact information on your resume.
