The Starting Gate

Your resume is one of the most important documents of your life. It matters in many ways. It can help you or hurt you. It can open doors to a brighter future. It is the documentation for the answer you give to the first question strangers ask each other: "What do you do?"
A resume can help you take steps toward improving your life. It is the vehicle that can take you from one job to another. It can advance you from a disappointing career to fulfillment in your job. In short, a resume matters.
Yet many of us ignore it until we face a crisis. Even then, we fail to treat it as the vital paper that it is. I urge you to take it seriously. Your resume can change your life.
