Dear AbilityLinks Supporter:

What Makes a Resume Work?

A resume that motivates the reader to pick up the phone and call you in for an interview is a resume that works. A resume won’t get you a job – but a resume that gets you an interview is a resume that did its job. Learn more about how to build an effective resume.
