Great Career Booster.......2003-07-31

I had to write a resume for a business communication class at UTSA, but since I was interviewing for a job I read ahead and without instruction made a kick-butt resume that helped me land a great job.

It also has good tips for all aspects of building a career and the steps to take along the way whether you're a collge student, a homemaker re-entering the job force, or changing careers after a tenured position.
