Testimonials:
The ExpertRating Online Writing Course (Resume Writing) has received
overwhelming positive feedback and reviews from students around the
world. Here are a few:
"A
most interesting and enjoyable course. I would most certainly
recommend it to my friends. Thank you for the course notes - I
shall certainly be putting them to the test." "As
someone who just started a new job helping unemployed individuals
search for work, this class has provided invaluable information
and has increased my knowledge to better serve my clients. Thank
you!" "For
two years I have listened to my oldest son talk about preparing
his resume. I have had the same job for twelve years so,
naturally, my comment was "How hard can a resume be. Just write
down your work experience and education." I wanted to learn what
has changed over the years and find out what I never knew. This
course was very good. My stumbling blocks on cover letters,
resumes, and how to handle my long tenure with one employer were
answered. My "NEW" resume looks good!" "I
am learning a lot of info. Great job to the instructor." "I
am very happy with the course. The information was well presented
and concise. I found the sites provided in the supplementary
sections useful also!" "I
certainly got a lot of very useful information for putting a
resume together. I want to thank you in advance for helping me
achieve greater success in the job market search from the
insights and lessons you provided in this course. I have been in
the same profession for the past 26 years and with the same
employer for the past twelve years. The industry has changed and
grown, forcing us to improve or retire.......This course will
help me to navigate and focus. Thank you again." "I
decided to take this course because my resume is outdated, stale,
and unpolished. Already this course has introduced me to new
styles and resources I wasn't aware of. Thanks Stephanie for
making this easier and immensely more productive than I thought
it would be or could be." "I
enjoyed the class and learned a lot from it. I am proud of my
resume. Thank you!" "I
enjoyed the course and I hope my new resume will bring numerous
interviews." "I
enjoyed the course very much. I feel that I have learned a
valuable skill so that I can get a better job. Thanks!" "I
enjoyed this course and found it quite beneficial." "I
feel that I learned valuable information that I can readily use.
The course demystified resume writing for me." "I
felt this was a relatively painless way to end up with a
completed resume. I also think this class is much better than
reading a how-to book because the information is up-to-date, plus
if you have lots of questions like I did, the instructor is right
there to answer them. I also really appreciated the instructor's
positive messages and encouragement!" "I
found the information well presented and clear, comprehensive and
the supplementary material and hyperlinks excellent." "I
found this class very useful. The instructor presented the
material in a straight-forward and easy-to-digest manner. I
really feel ready to present a new resume to potential
employers."
"I
have really enjoyed this course and look forward to taking other
o line courses. I will recommend this course to other people in
my department." "I
just wanted to say that this class has been most informative. I
have been at my present job for 11 years and have decided to move
on. My resume and cover letter skills were very rusty. This class
has given me the insights and positive reinforcement to make my
resume shine. Thanks!" "I
loved this course!!!!"

Employment
experts say you should always have a current resume on hand, and it
should be updated whenever your experience, skill level or other
information changes.
Your job could be
downsized and you will need a resume to apply for a new job. You
might decide to apply for a promotion within your company and you
will be asked for a resume. You might hear about an amazing
opportunity you know would suit you perfectly and you will need a
resume quickly to apply for it. You might work in an industry that
provides opportunities for freelance work and you need a resume to
show potential clients.
Your resume is a unique document and you
might find certain things just must be included, or you can leave
off things others must include. The ExpertRating Resume Writing
Workshop Certification course will focus on resumes and cover
letters.
This first
lesson is going to discuss what a resume is
and why you need one. Then it will go over
the six sections of a resume: Heading,
objective, education, work experience,
special skills, and references, and you'll
learn how job seekers utilize each one to
market themselves to prospective employers.
This lesson will finish up by discussing
some other resources on the Internet where
you can look over sample resume headings and
objectives.
Friday - Lesson 02
This
lesson will outline the skills that
you've developed in five areas of your
life—work, education, internships,
volunteering, and extracurricular
activities. Then this lesson will edit
those skills down to the ones that are
most relevant to employment, and choose
an important skill for each area. Next,
this lesson will come up with
personality traits, and narrow those
down to the ones that are useful in a
business setting. You'll be asked to
list the three accomplishments that
you're most proud of, and the skills
that you used to make these goals come
to fruition.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
This
lesson is going to cover the rules of
resumes. For instance, a resume should
be only one page, and it should be
laser-printed or typeset by a
professional printer, and it should be
printed on bond paper. You're also going
to learn what not to include on your
resume, and why it's perfectly
acceptable to use the word "I" on your
resume if you so desire. This lesson
will conclude with a discussion about
Truth in Resume Writing. Through
example, this lesson is going to
demonstrate how to portray job duties in
the best possible light without getting
yourself into trouble.
Friday - Lesson 04
In Lesson 4,
you'll learn about the most popular style of
resume—the chronological resume. In this
type of resume, you'll list work experience
in reverse chronological order. Your current
or last position is listed first in the work
experience section of your resume. This
lesson will discuss the advantages and
disadvantages of this type of resume. You'll
also learn how to minimize a gap in work
history. Although many people will have a
few small gaps in work history, too many
gaps, and gaps that are too large will put
prospective employers on alert.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
This lesson
is going to go over the other two resume
formats—the functional resume and the
hybrid—the combined resume. Although not as
popular as the chronological resume, these
resume formats do fulfill a need for some
job seekers. Employees who are following a
new direction in their career, or who don't
have much experience for a particular
position, may choose a functional format.
You'll learn the differences between
functional resumes and chronological ones,
and as part of the lesson, you'll look at
four people's chronological resumes and
practice converting them into functional and
combined resumes.
Friday - Lesson 06
This lesson
is going to concentrate on your resume.
It'll discuss how to set up the heading of
your resume and the options you have
available to you when you're doing so. Then
this lesson will look at some sample resume
headings. You'll learn how to write a
persuasive objective for your personal
resume, and then this lesson will discuss
career profiles and summaries of
qualifications. This lesson will also go
over examples of objectives, career
profiles, and summaries. Finally, it'll look
at the education section of your resume and
discuss what's included in an honors
section.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
This lesson
is going to discuss references. It'll begin
by looking at examples of two reference
letters written by two different
individuals. Then, this lesson will discuss
how to request a reference letter, and take
a look at a sample dialogue of this. This
lesson will discuss the different people you
could request a letter from, and take a look
at the difference between a regular
reference and a sealed reference. Later,
it'll look at a sample reference sheet that
you can use as a model to construct your
own. Lesson 7 will finish up with some
examples of how you can refer to your
references on your resume.
Friday - Lesson 08
In this
lesson, you'll learn how to turn job
descriptions into advertising copy. Your
resume is an advertisement for a product,
and you are the product, and your potential
employer is the customer. You need to
express the features (actual description of
your product) and the benefits (how it will
help or aid the customer) of the product.
You must be as persuasive and specific as
possible when describing your features and
benefits. Finally, this lesson will discuss
company job descriptions and why they're
important to you.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In this
lesson, you'll learn all about technical
resumes (resumes for engineering, data
processing, and other technical and
management careers). This lesson is going to
discuss how these resumes differ from
traditional resumes. You'll learn about
buzzwords, and find out how to use them
effectively on a technical resume. Then
you'll learn some writing tips for technical
resumes, and you'll go over a recommended
technical resume format. This lesson will
finish up by looking over some examples of
technical resumes—one chronological and one
functional.
Friday - Lesson 10
In this
lesson, you'll learn the three methods that
employers use to locate a job candidate on
the Internet. This lesson is going to
discuss resume banks, search engines, and
newsgroups. It'll explain what you need in
order to get Internet access, and the three
versions you'll need in order to post your
resume on the Web. This lesson will go over
keywords and other online resume tips, and
will explain why you need to protect
yourself on the Internet, as well as ways to
accomplish this. This lesson will finish up
with a discussion about how to post your
resume.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
In Lesson
11, you're going to learn how to write
an effective cover letter. This lesson
will explain what a cover letter is, and
when you'll need one. Then it'll go over
the different parts of a cover letter,
and look at several examples of them.
Finally, this lesson will discuss the
follow-up sentence that you might
include in the closing of your cover
letter and why it's important in your
job search.
