Résumé Need a Makeover? Join This Savvy Group!
The art of crafting an effective résumé should be taught in school since it's so meaningful in our working lives. Most of us learned how to create our résumés from online samples and campus career-counseling handbooks, but those basic examples can only help us so much.
While I'm not a professional career counselor or résumé builder, I have a keen eye for résumé blunders and have been helping my friends with their résumés for years.
Moving to LA Résumé, Remedied
TeamSugar member ErieIndiana is moving to LA and will need a new job in her new city, so she submitted her résumé to my Resume Remedy group to get it ready for her job search.

Entry-Level Résumé, Remedied
TeamSugar user yoruhana posted her "Entry-Levelness Resume" in my Résumé Remedy group — she's a year out of college and looking for something new because the company where she held her first job is undergoing financial troubles. Her current resume implies that she's a highly-desirable candidate — she has a good education and made the most of her time during college with various internships — yet she's having trouble getting an employer to bite at her applications. She'd like some help making her bulletpoints pop, but I'm going to give my two cents from top to bottom — résumés can be fun!
Recent Graduate (Print Journalism) Resume
Savvy and Sugarlanders, I need serious help in the resume area. I have had this since the beginning of my college career and have had it tweaked more than a handful of times, but it still seems like nothing is coming my way. How can I stand out from the rest of the recent graduate crowd?Account Manager Résumé, Remedied
TeamSugar user jenwils01 shared her résumé in my Résumé Remedy group — she's looking for some help in spelling out her current accomplishments because it's difficult to put soft skills into straightforward sentences. She has a good understanding of her responsibilities as an account manager where her main focus is relationship development, but she's also attentive to her duties as a salesperson with the goal of increasing revenue. Here are my observations and recommendations, and of course you're encouraged to share your own in the comments.

Hi guys, I am going to be going back to school to obtain a different degree in fashion. I've been working for a number of years in the administration department at an office. I am thinking of getting a job in retail and would like to know if my resume is up to par.Resume Remedy testimonial
Just wanted to update all of the Resume Remedy group members about my job search status. Back in April we found out my husband was being transferred so I had to dust off my resumes and start the infamous job search. I posted my resume in this group and got tons of great feedback from the members!Product Manager/ Marketing Resume

I love my current job, but after 3 years I feel as though it is time to move on and gain experience elsewhere. If you have a few minutes, please look over my resume. I would appreciate any criticism you can provide.
