In class we learned about how to write resumes. I came across a website which gives detailed information on how to write a successful resume. On this website there was one point that particularly interested me. It stated that a graduate will send out 70 resumes when they are looking for their first graduate job. This interested me because it gave me an idea of how many I will probably be sending out after I graduate!
Take a look at the website: http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/cv.htm .
Yes, Nisha. Remember Bolles' point that sending out reumses is the 2nd worst way to get a job (sucess rate of 7%).
ReplyDeleteThat said, you may well need to send out many resumes - the key things are:
1. not to get discouraged; and
2. try other methods of job-hunting, as well as resume-sending.
