List of Entries for the Resume Book – Deadline April 1

So you are wondering who else is going to be in this Resume Book that I keep hearing about. Well to answer your question we are listing the organization and function for each of the resumes that have been submitted.

And to answer your other question, you do not have to be job searching to submit your resume. We are creating more of a “who’s who” in government – although it will be a tad more selective and less expensive than the “Who’s Who” book from back in the day that included everyone in your high school including those who had already dropped out.

Take some time in the next few days to update your resume that is probably saved in WordPerfect and submit it to ELGL with three bulletin points (if you are an ELGL member) highlighting your experience.
