What I Learned in My Employability Skills Class. “A summary of lessons learned upon completing an Employability Skill class” By Luis E. Saenz

Why is important to create a resume. To create a Resume is very important, finding employment can be challenging for anyone, but the job market can be especially tough for recent college graduates, people re-entering the workforce after time away, or someone who has been in a position for a long time. Competition is stiff; the market is filled with other strong job candidates, too. So how can you increase your chances for getting a great job in the field you love? For almost everyone, it starts with a resume.

Include A Cover Letter Every Time You Submit A Resume For A Job. A cover letter should be customized for each specific job opportunity. Don’t write a cover letter longer than one page. You don’t need to include the date, return address, or mailing address at the top of the page. A cover letter should be addressed to a specific individual’s name. Include a cover letter every time you submit a resume for a job.

Where can I find a job? I can find job online: Private Job Bank Sector Indeed.com Monster.com CareerBuilder.com This is a Federal Website: UsaJobs.com Is the official job site of the United States Federal Government. This is a state job bank: CalJOBS is another online site very important, where employers post open positions.
