Resumes By Carol

Frederick, Maryland

Carol Cron is an experienced communicator, having worked in business and higher education for more than 25 years. She teaches business writing at a university in Maryland. One of her favorite units to teach is writing great resumes, emphasizing that “just one typographical error or mistake can cause your resume to go in the 'no' pile.” Another rule Carol emphasizes in her teaching is to be consistent. She says, “It really doesn’t matter if you use round or square bullets, Times New Roman or Calibri font, or indent paragraphs or not; whatever you choose, just do it consistently.” This is the type of review and preciseness Carol will bring to producing or updating a resume for her clients. She will meet or talk with you to learn what knowledge, skills, and experience you want to emphasize to a potential new employer. While it’s good to “tweak” your resume to the job for which you are applying, that can also be done more easily in your cover letter. Carol can help you with both of these customizations.
