This production action is meant to provide you meaningful support to find great careers faster whether you're working or not today on job seekers radio were talking about the very best first time to introduce your resume in a hiring process. I always start this conversation because it comes up frequently for us. Can i have your resume. That's the question we always get and. I think that's an appropriate time to provide it.
