Scams are every where online. Just about every where you go online you will find ads for so-called "easy and fast money" jobs.

"WOW! I can work from home and make money? I can sit around in my PJ's and work whenever I want? How great, I want to be a telecommuter!"

jill — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 22:47:45 +0000

Question: How do I market myself online?

Answer: With a stellar cover letter and resume.

Okay, so let's get into the meat of this. You know that you need to market yourself, and you can do that with a stellar cover letter and resume. But, why is that so important? Let's think about this.

Telecommuting Resumes

jill — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 22:43:53 +0000

Your resume needs to outline your skills and experience, as most know. What some may not know is that employers want to know what you'll bring to the table. They don’t want to know what your daily duties were. They want to know what you did for the companies you worked for that makes you extraordinary. Did you save them money, did you make them money, how were you the best at what you did, etc. Yes, employers want to know what your experience is, so duties are good to add. Again, the name of the game is SELL YOURSELF! This does not lose its importance in a resume.
