The summer job season combined with sluggish economy should provide strong motivation
for job-seekers to update resume.
While job-seekers may resist crafting a new resume because they suspect employers aren't
hiring during the summer -- especially in a recession -- those are exactly the reasons
workers need to keep their resumes polished and up to date.
The summer is the perfect time to fine-tune your resumes and lay the groundwork
for future hiring. It is also an excellent time to seek a new job as competition is minimal
because many job-seekers assume that hiring decisions will be postponed until fall. Plus,
current economic conditions dictate that workers be ready with effective resumes in case of
unexpected layoffs.

and cover-letter samples covering a wide range of occupations and professions, for job-seekers
from new college grads to senior executives -- and all, as always on Quintessential Careers, free.
