Resume Builders?

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I'm looking to take some courses that are resume builders. Is there any specific business training I should look into?

Your resume at this point in your career is damn near worthless, learn how to write an exceptional cover letter.

What are you trying to do and what kind of experience are you working with?

Who lied to you? And how do you know what point I'm at in my career?

What are you trying to do and what kind of experience are you working with?

Public Administration--I'm thinking about getting my Master's in Public Administration. I'm looking at working for a governmental agency in public policy, or perhaps working with nonprofits in organizational management. I'm not sure yet what I want to do with that, as I'm still researching.

You said courses so I'm assuming you're in school right, so even with the courses you take, I may look at where you intern. If I'm wrong please correct me. As someone who hires, a good cover letter usually tips the scales for me more than a resume if I were considering a bunch of kids who were out of school and had roughly similar experiences. But this is just me and the criteria I may use at that point. In today's economy you have hundreds of kids with the same experience and skills you have, so I would rather see where you lie on a human level and that should give me a reason to hire you.

I really need to chat with you! Check your PMs Asap! MPP is basically the same as a MPA.

Breh, I'm a professional who's looking to add skills to my repitoire(sp?), not a new grad. I graduated 4 years ago. I have a B/S in Psychology

So, you already got the BA, right?

Yessir, B.S.

I see, well in that case you can't go wrong with business courses, if you haven't considered that, you could turn to things clinical management or something similar. The health field is mighty healthy.

Yeah I found some places around here who offer business courses. It costs too much money to take those same courses at a UNI.

Yea, I wouldn't suggest going the UNI route unless you were shooting for an MBA, I think with your background you can go this route and round yourself out.

No doubt. Recommend any particular courses or skill-sets?

Shoot for things like Analysis, Organizational Behavior, Corporate Communication, Basic Business management. Not sure if these are available where you're looking but take a shot. I think they would be good all-around type classes.

I found courses offering training in most of those subjects you listed, but I haven't found any analysis courses. But yeah, what you listed is the general area I'm shooting for.
