Few employers seriously consider a resume that is not accompanied by a cover letter; thus, a dynamically written cover letter must be part of your job search strategy. more »

Most people do not prepare properly for an interview. A lot of time, energy and money are spent in preparation for the chance to have an interview meeting with a prospective employer.

Most professionals spend an incredible amount of time preparing their resume, and even make a considerable investment to have their resumes prepared by skilled professionals so as to increase their chances of getting the interview. Ironically, many of these same professionals will then spend minimal time or investment in making certain that their interview skills are fine tuned. more »

The RETURN Campaign, launched by the UK Resource Centre for Women in SET (UKRC) in 2005, is organising work placements with SET employers for women returners.
