The hardest part of writing a resume is what to say about yourself. Those using MyCareerMatch and MyResume have an advantage as their report has content for that purpose. It’s challenging as students think they’ve nothing to write as all they’ve done is gone to school for 12 years.

If the resume sets out the student’s capabilities based on their personality type, school achievements, activities, sports, interests and community participation that’s more than enough for an employer to make a decision to interview.
