Things You’ll Need:

  • A resume.
  • Computer and printer.
  • Grammar and spelling knowledge.

Go to your local career center. Yes they do have staff to help individuals make a resume, but most of the time they have to wait on a waiting list and they may or may not get what they need. They are usually more then happy to display your business card at the front desk.

Do not forget about visiting your local Library. Many Libraries have billboards and tables at the library entrance that local business can leave brochures and business cards. Be sure to keep the advertisements clean and check your posting at least once a month. It is best to ask the Librarian or Library attendants before doing so. This is a great way to start a relationship with them and let them know about your business. It is common for a librarian to be asked about resume services, so it is important to keep on their good side.
