Melanie Szlucha has been reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates since her first job in 1995. In terms of my personal job searching experience, I’ve landed jobs in just about every way
possible, from introducing myself to the CEO, networking contacts, working with recruiters and an online job posting. She knows what it is like to be on both sides of the desk, and has used that experience to coach
her clients to land new jobs. Whether it’s from the resumes she writes, job search strategies she teaches, or the interview coaching she provides, her clients land the new jobs they want.

Melanie will present on How to Fix a Broken Resume:
The key component of a resume that does well is one that clearly conveys a candidate’s unique
attributes, either by the way it’s written or how it’s presented on the page.
I’ll demonstrate specific tactics that make it easy to customize the resume for an employer and
ways of writing the resume that quickly highlight compelling accomplishments
