You just need to write down everything you've learned and done and then Bron can help you correct that resume.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10929841.post-1149914124481804442006-06-09T21:35:00.000-07:002006-06-09T21:35:00.000-07:00Thanks Bron!

Way too many women downplay their experience. You may not have formally been on the payroll of the concreting business, but it is still working in the family business. If I'm an employer, I want to know about the facts and scope of that, not as a throw-away line, but as hard evidence of your skills and experience. I want to know that you've managed the administration (and heavy work) of contract jobs worth thousands of dollars (or more). I want to know that you're familiar with personnel management and hiring practices, occupational health and safety rules, etc. I want to know about your skills in record keeping, bookkeeping, procurement, etc.<BR/><BR/>I presume you have a resume? If you like, send it to me and I'll have a look over it, make some suggestions. (Back in my pre-writing days, I used to work in HR, and have run extensive training courses for selection panels as well as for job applicants. It was one of my specialties ;-) )Bronwyn Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987772491981857089noreply@blogger.com
