Non-Partisan Bureau Labor Statistics results: There are now 1.82 million more people not in the labor force now than just 12 months ago.

Resume before and after that’s what this post is about.
Kevin and I have been working on his job hunt not for about 3 weeks. He got serious about it after Christmas. The plan came first. That took a couple of days. Then we began work on his resumes. Yes, he has more than one but I’ll get to that in a minute.
Kevin’s heard me say a thousand times, The most qualified job hunter is rarely the one who gets the offer! Yup that’s right. It’s not a typo. I’m not crazy. The best positions go to the people who do the best job at positioning themselves as the best solution to an employer’s problem — once in they’re in the interview. And that’ s the rub.
For me the toughest decision was whether to find him a job myself or show him how to do it. Given I really admire Kevin, for a lot of reasons, I decided to take the hard decision and to slow down and show him. {the old give a man a fish… argument}.
