The search for gainful employment can be daunting to say the least. Luckily, there are
a number of online resources specifically designed to help you through the entire job
search process. Though there is a plethora of job search sites online, finding a job
listing is not the only part of the process. There are just as many websites that feature
resume and interview tips and resources.
You should probably polish up your resume before you dive into the job search
itself. A good place to start is Free
Resume Tips. This site includes 60 free resume workshops, industry specific
resume building tips, and so on.

can get a custom resume personally prepared for you by a California State Licensed
Professional Counselor. Resume packages include the basic, deluxe, and executive resume
packages. Service prices start for under $100 to just over $200, depending on the resume
package.
