My Top Website for Job Hunting

Testimonial

From: Rob Williams,  Internet Strategist

Emurse.com has been a very useful resource for me. Having a clean place to post my resume with an easy to remember web address is very convenient! There’s been times I’ve met someone and could give them my resume by sending them to my Emurse page. I’ve gotten feedback from others who think it is a “great website — very slick”. It’s a cinch to update, create, and allow others to download it in any format they choose.

It’s been one of my top go-to websites for job hunting!

Creating Great College Resumes

Testimonial

Alex,

I thought I would take a moment to provide some positive feedback to your resume creation service. I haven’t created a resume in nearly three years, and a college student like myself must squeeze every bit of credibility possible into a few short pages. Your website worked wonders, and I created a stunning resume - as stunning as my experience and education would truthfully allow - in less than an hour.

My thanks for a wonderful service. It sure beats manual editing or searching for templates.

-Shann C.

Illegal Interview Questions

Illegal job interview questions are important to be aware of, whether you are conducting an interview or being interviewed. The general rule of thumb is that anything involving gender, age, religion, disabilities, marital status, sexual preference, ethnicity, and parental status are things to be avoided (especially here in the United States).

In addition to our article on standard interview questions, this article aims to help increase your awareness and ability to ace any interview thrown your way. Just because these questions are illegal, it doesn’t mean that they won’t be asked in an interview. After this primer, you’ll be aware of what you don’t have to answer.
