Resume’ expert 

Tom Dezell offers tips

He’s seen them by the thousands, some good, some bad, some downright ugly. But only a few that were great.

Tom Dezell sees resumes. It’s part of his job as a professional resume writer and career advisor with the state of Maryland Department of Workforce Development.

He says resumes need to be tailored because job openings are usually because of problems faced by the employer.

“You want to position yourself as someone who can solve them,” says Mr. Dezell.

“Quality is going to beat quantity every time,” he adds. “Being more careful and researching companies and particular employers, and even the particular department or the hiring manager, you can tailor a bit of your resume toward their needs,” he says.
