Hi everyone,
Never thought I’d find myself in this position but it seems like I might be looking for another job after being in the current one for almost 20 years. Have to say I am the type of person who doesn’t crave constant changes and am perfectly happy to do what I do but it looks like my company may be purchasing a new software system and my role will either change significantly (system analyst/business analyst) or many of my job functions may become obsolete thanks to the new system’s capabilities and automation.
I started updating my resume and am finding that I am pretty rusty after all these years.
Would definitely like to get some assistance of a professional resume writer so coming to you to ask if you’ve found any resource(s) particularly reliable and useful in this respect.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Emily.
If you went to school, check with their career department. They frequently offer help to alums. You could also check with local schools, libraries, etc. in your area. They may offer seminars and such.
But get ready. The job search market has really changed in the last 20 years. Make sure you resume is email friendly. Everything is done electronically these days. Good luck.
Check the website of your alma mater’s career office; they might have some resume tips even for established professionals.
Ask your kids - college aged or grads. They have likely been creating resumes online since high school.
Also, templates for a small fee: https://www.■■■■■■■■/search?q=resume%20template&ref=auto1&as_prefix=resume

I went to school but not in the US.
I guess I wasn’t clear, I obviously know how to create a resume, I need someone’s input on how to best present myself and my experience specific to my field and my level of expertise.
Thank you for the links, I will check them out.
Linkedin has a lot of online resources. So start with that. Create a Linkedin profile, start asking your coworkers, clients, trusted supervisors, etc., to write you good recommendations. If you’re worried about ageism, create a resume that downplays dates (or eliminates them altogether) and emphasizes skills. Again, lots of examples online.
Your public library will likely offer several career related databases that will offer content that should be helpful.
