Making resumes can be stressful, boring, and time-consuming – and reading them usually isn’t any fun either. Steve Savage discusses a new, effective approach to resumes – treating them as a creative work. Much as a good novel, film, or documentary is greater than the sum of its parts, a resume is the same way.

Here you’ll learn:

•       How the different parts of a resume help in your job search and how they resemble parts of a story, film, or book.

•       How the different parts of a resume work together to create an effective story – the tale of your career.

•       How to go beyond a simple resume into something epic.

•       How to make resume creation interesting – or at least tolerable – by treating it as a creative work.
