Press Release Summary = Today many job seekers are choosing to telecommute as a way
to earning a living and with that becomes a need to have a strong resume that is
focused on the attributes that telecommute friendly companies are looking for.

Press Release Body = With the continued decline in the today's economy, many job
seekers are finding it increasingly hard to locate work both outside the home and
via telecommuting. They search for weeks on end, submit hundreds of resumes, and
never get a bite. It's time consuming, frustrating, and quite frankly very
frightening to the jobseeker that is slowly sinking into financial disaster. But it
doesn't have to be, there is a way to greatly increase your chances of landing a job
and in half the time.

According to the International Telework Association and Council (ITAC) of
Washington, D.C., more than 19.6 million people reportedly worked from home as of
1999. The ITAC estimates that by 2010, there will be around 40 million people
working at least part-time from their homes.

Telecommute employers report they are inundated with resumes; they may have five job
openings but thousands of resumes to sort through. If a resume isn\'t visually
pleasing, reader-friendly, sharply focused, and packed with industry keywords, it
probably won\'t get the employer\'s attention, let alone an interview.

confusion of what type of resume is best for certain work histories, what the
difference is between a telecommute resume and a standard resume, and how to get
your resume chosen out of thousands of others submitted.

Melody Spier states, \"When I first started looking for a work-at-home job I was
submitting the same resume that I had used for years while working outside the home.
I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any calls. Then someone recommended I
have a resume specialist build me a professional resume that was tailored to what
telecommuting companies look for. I instantly started getting calls after she
created my resume. One job I landed was with a company that I had previously applied
to. When I spoke to the HR person and mentioned I'd applied a few months before she
said she didn't recall seeing my resume. That's because it blended in with all the
others.\"
