Finding the Information
In today's world the computer is a incredible resource. You have access to information portals that provide you with a wealth of information, samples of how to translate your skills information so others understand what and why you can do certain things, and templates to use to package information.
Following are a list of sites you can just "click on," read the information (print it if you like), and get more from the next listing. Hopefully, you should have enough information that you will be able to write your "career" story that employers and others will read. However, if you still need more go to the side column - Learn More - on this page and learn where you might go to pull your story together, get assistance to polish your story, or discover new ways of packaging yourself so others will be excited to learn more about you.
