If you do not have a formal
and/or updated resume, please take your old resume (if applicable) and do an updated DRAFT
reflecting your current position, responsibilities and dates. It may contain typos,
errors, etc. "for starters", but please don't refrain from sending ANY
background information because it's informal. We've placed many people over the years who
didn't have a "resume ready to go"! A lot of times, we can (confidentially)
describe a potential candidate's background by phone, E-mail, etc. (for e.g.. "a
3-year Big 5 person" or "a sales & use tax specialist who files returns in
45 states".) Additionally, you can complete a form and "Submit Your
Information" to us by clicking here.
