Peter Griffin’s Job Resume

Dan — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:18:22 +0000

You need to familiarize yourself with the position you’re applying for, and you need to demonstrate that your specific skill set and job experience can benefit the company you’ve got your little unemployed heart set on. Your resume needs to encapsulate all this in two pages or less. It needs to grab potential employers by the face and say “Hey! I’m the one you’ve been looking for.” Whether you’re applying for a particular position or hoping to acquire a job creation grant, versatility is everything in today’s shaky economy, and the following is an example of the tough competition you’ll be up against out there.
