We’ve got to pull the old resume out and update it. It means going back over work history and getting all the dates and descriptions right. And then re-writing and tweaking it till it’s perfect. Because without a very good resume we’re not going to find a job.And then, when we’ve finally got an award-winning resume we have to get it distributed. The wider the better. So we post it on some job websites and mail or email it to a bunch of companies. We answer plenty of job opening ads. And even contact some agencies and recruiters.And then we wait for results. The resume fever has abated a little bit because we’ve done our work and the rest is up to the employers. The most we have to do at this point is wait for the phone to ring. Or an interview invitation to come in the mail.
