I have a recent college degree but Ive been out of the job market for 13 years. How can I build an effective resume?
Instead of a traditional resume, you might want to resort to a “skills oriented” resume. I first started hearing talk about this say ten years ago. It is for people who are moving from one area to another. If they use the old style chronological resume, it emphasizes the very short time they have been at their current job. Instead, list the skills you know, and attach a list of references (presumably the supervisors from your past jobs.
