How To Write A Resume
I used to help people get jobs for a living. (Let that sentence sink in for a minute). I had almost forgotten this part of my life until an opportunity popped up last week with one of my employers. I sat at a table during Career Day and went over resumes with nervous job seekers.
I slipped into my old routine and offered suggestions and rewrites just like it was 2003 and I was surrounded by thousands of seekers at Heinz Field or PNC Park. In those days, I also used to offer resume-writing workshops for CareerLink.

On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
