fine, but make sure it is white, holds the ink, and doesn't smear. Laser printed is best, so take it to the library and get it printed if you don't have a printer. Now that you have a resume ready, it's time to start emailing them or mailing them. Get the correct addresses for potential employers and make sure you send your resumes to the appropriate person. It doesn't hurt to follow up to make sure they have your resume and then about an interview. Just keep in mind these people are busy, and you could end up irritating them by calling, so if the job posting says no phone calls, that's exactly what it means. One final tip, and I'd like to thank my sister for this one: many companies nowadays use temporary services to hire people. So if you have temporary services in your town, make sure you sign up for these as it may be the entrance to that job you want. Also, if you want to work for companies like defense contractors, you may want to consider head hunters because some companies may not directly hire. That's it for now. This is a living document, so I will add material as I get it. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help. Thanks. And by the way, if you use the material in this guide, and it helps you get a job, please let me know. I love to hear success stories. Jinger Jarrett http://jingerjarrett.com/support/
