Once upon a time there was a pretty young woman, who lived in a pretty apartment in one of the prettiest cities in the world. Now, this young woman had lived in her apartment in the city for a good while, almost 10 years, and over time she had developed an interesting and varied career in the non-profit and technology sectors.
Since she had lived in the same place for a while, and because so much of her work arrived through personal networks, her resume had begun to languish. Updated once a year, and reformatted never, it grew rusty, like an axe left out in the rain.
In April, when she graduated from school the young woman decided to make some big changes, and move to a new city. She chose Toronto, her hometown. It was exciting and full of opportunity, though intimidating, and more to the point, full of people who didn't know our girl from a parking meter.
Totally unlike the pretty little city she knew and loved.
Realizing that word of mouth would not work, our girl decided to revamp and re-think her resume.
