I just read this article entitled, “Day in the Life of a Successful Job Seeker” at Careerealism and it got me thinking.

A couple of events have happened to me recently. Graduation from graduate school being one of them, I decided it was time to update my résumé to modernize it as well as reflect the goals I have now that I hold a Masters degree in Public Administration.
