Resume Review Service - Tasmania

The resume review service will be an ongoing PD activity this year in Tasmania. If you're new to this service, this is an opportunity for you to have a Library and Information industry professional review and provide feedback on your resume. This service is FREE and will assist and prepare you to:
  • Gain your first employment in the library/information sector
  • Plan your next career move or promotion
  • Find ways to demonstrate your skills to potential employers
 (Please note: All library/information sector folks are welcome to use this service, not just new grads!)

 Here’s what you do to get your resume reviewed:

1.      Ensure that your resume is clearly laid out, up-to-date and free of spelling and grammatical errors.

2.
     Submit your resume (in a Word doc so that the reviewers can add comments) via email to me (ALIANewGradsTas@gmail.com)by the  last Friday of each month, ie:
  • 29 March 2013
  • 26 April 2013
  • 31 May 2013
  • 28 June 2013
  • 26 July 2013
I will then notify you of your designated reviewer who will contact you and will provide you with valuable feedback. Good luck and get working on those resumes!

Please note: Depending on the numbers, this service will cease after July, so please make sure you get your resume in quickly for that new or next job!
