Richard Hart Author Make Your Resume Talk

Richard Hart’s passion for resumes and helping others became apparent after he retired from the US General Accounting Of-fice where he had been both an Asst. Director of Auditing and Director of Training. Although he earned a degree in Accounting from West Virginia Tech, he realized that he must have been misplaced in his 35-year federal career due to the praise he has received from the students who have taken his resume-writing course. He readily admits that there are many books on resumes, and all have a different template or format; however, he has found that his advertisement resume, versus an obituary resume, has been a very effective approach in getting students interviews. With a background of having re-written or improved over 6,000 resumes in the past 8 years, he brings a fresh new look at re-sumes. He has written 2 books on resumes, and his latest book called “Make Your Resume Talk” is a how-to-do-it workbook with many examples of before and after resumes that readily show the difference why an advertisement approach is more entic-ing. Mr. Hart has also introduced a mini-resume business card as a networking tool that has received rave reviews from HR and recruiting personnel.
