Welcome to the Career Center at All Star Resume!
Blog
We understand that resumes and cover letters are not the only part of the job search process you
have to worry about. Our blog is where we will talk about other
things, such as career planning, job interview tips, the economy,
networking opportunities, managing recommenders – and where we
will occasionally make timely and general comments about the
roles these items play in hiring decisions.

tips to ensure you are fully prepared, right down to being able to identify illegal

Handling Job Offers
This may not have happened to you before, but it's just not that uncommon for job seekers
to go from receiving no employer interest to suddenly juggling multiple job offers. Do
you know how to evaluate different offers and negotiate with someone you may end up being your
boss? There are right things and wrong things to do in this situation and our
job offers page can make sure you gain all the future
compensation to which you are entitled.
Career Change
Are you seriously considering a career change? Don't feel bad. Americans are now
expected to make 5 to 7 such career changes on average over their work lives. While a career
change comes with a certain sense of stress, it is also a blessing that our dynamic economy
affords us such opportunities. Review our career change
notes to help minimize your stress and ensure your career change is one for the better.
Resume and Cover Letter Writing Tips
Your resume and cover letter will become the hiring manager's first impression of you.
Don't let poor word choices, silly typos, or an inconsistent tone between your cover letter
and resume stand convince the hiring manager you lack the attention to detail necessary to properly
performing the open position's tasks. Let our
resume writing tips help you avert any such misperceptions.
Recommenders
You can't forget about your recommenders. With the growing awareness of job applicant deception
and the declining costs and increasing availability of data, more employers than ever are
checking references. Click here for helpful tips on
how to manage this integral part of your job search!
