One of the classes I teach is a senior English course called Business Communications. In this class we do things that will be frequently done in the business world. Some of the things covered are slogans, résumés, cover and follow up letters, references, phones messages, etc. Many students really struggle to compose a fluent cover letter, resume, and references. Resume Update 2008 is a podcast that will allow you to get some ideas to update your resume with a standard that will allow you to keep up with the current trends. This particular cast is an update of one that they gave on October 31, 2005. There they went over all of the basics to building a complete résumé. This podcast gives the latest trends and even advertises a resume review service. This is just another tool to reinforce how important it is for people to review how vital it is that résumés are proofread. If you are writing a résumé, or teaching someone else how to do it, you should listen to this cast. I will recommend it to my students.

Thanks for the podcast, Mary Beth. I found it very helpful. I shall keep it as a reference in case I ever need it. Having a good, accurate, and professional resume is important and is very vital to whether or not you'll get hired.
Great idea to listen to - nice post
