Having been through a restructuring, this course provided some really good tips and I appreciated hearing them more from a subject matter expert. Even if you are just looking to refresh your resume and you are not actively applying, I would recommend this course.

Very useful information. Concise and to the point. I was surprised by the frequent references to Linked-in. I'm not certain this speaks to a general populous. Anyone could walk away with valuable pointers after taking this course.

Very good ideas on what I need to do to prep my resume but it would be helpful to go over some examples of how to quantify or apply metrics to achievements. I don't normally think in those terms.

Great course with lots of reminders of what to include or not include in your resume. Course also explained how to incorporate Linked In profile into the resume (which is something new to me).

It is a good corse, but it focuses on experienced professionals in one industry. If u are a career changer not so useful. Because yo do not have accomplishmnts at all.

I found this very helpful and am glad I could download the powerpoint. Employed or not, it's always good to revisit the resume and update it from time to time.
