Given the current state of our economy several cities are hosting live radio shows dedicated to putting people back to work. As you become comfortable speaking on behalf of your employable skills, consider looking into free radio broadcasts dedicated to your cause.

Taking Full Advantage of Your Created Profile
Have your ResuméTalks.org profile link readily available on your handheld device, computer, or laptop. This will help you review your "elevator speech" at a moment's notice. As appropriate, showing off your recording will portray you as proactive and serious about your job search.

Questions As noted in the About Us section, we have created a website that enables resumés to "speak", and enables recruiters, to effectively "listen" so those resumés. To guide the use of ResuméTalks.org toward the most efficient process for both recruiting agents and employee candidates, based on our extensive hiring experience as noted in the About Us section, we ask the candidates to discuss in two (2) minutes or less, the follow six (6) questions:

1. How would your best friend describe you?
2. What are your two greatest strengths?
3. How do you alleviate stress?
4. What are your short and long term goals?
5. What type of work environment do you prefer?
6. What is your typical way of dealing with conflict?
