However, this year the economy is lagging and consumers (especially college students) are doing everything they can to stretch each and every dollar. For example, according to a recent study by consulting firm, Deloitte, 70% of back-to-school shoppers in Illinois plan to buy lower-priced items than they did a

Digging through more resume writing advice, facts, and myths, we find out that while the use of fancy action words is typically encouraged by most career advisers, too much of a good thing can be counter-productive.

I read an article the other day that really took me by surprise. It turns out that employers aren't so keen on objective statements. The author advises against beginning your resume with an objective as do 90% of the resumes I've ever seen (including my own). According to him, the traditional, cheesy objective is better replaced with a "profile" containing some things that relate to the job
