Transition Training

I spent a greater part of today in job transition training. It was a service paid for by my previous employer. The class was quite helpful actually. It was provided by DB Associates. They spent the first part doing introductions and then got down to work. Basically we determined what our skills were from a list and how much we enjoyed doing that skill. This would help determine what job are most suitable. We also created a list of accomplishments to be transferred into resume aspects. They had a lists of jobs and functions to choose from. I always wondered where the professional resume writers got their words from. All of these will help craft a fine resume. The final thing I learned today is that there are several resume styles. The most popular is the self explanatory chronological type. Another kind, which I may quickly adopt, is a functional type. This resume style lists job functions and highlights diverse backgrounds.
