Ga. officials push resume-writing for job-seekers

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA - The Georgia Department of Labor is launching a month-long effort to help job seekers improve their chances for employment that focuses on resumes including workshops in Gainesville and Toccoa.

The program is called ResuMAY. Under the program, the department will provide resources including a live on-line chat scheduled for May 25 devoted to resumes, a series of new on-line resume-writing podcasts, and new on-line resources and marketing materials for job seekers to download.

Local career centers and other one-stop centers will offer resume-writing services. Some activities include workshops, employer-led feedback discussions, resume contests, and one-on-one resume sessions. ResuMAY is targeted to general job seekers, older workers, professionals and long-term unemployed.

The workshop at the Gainesville Career Center will be held May 19 from 10:00-11:00; the one at the Toccoa Career Center will be held May 27 from 9:00-10:00.
