Bryant & Stratton College Online Hosts Webinar: What Type of
Resume is Best?
January 10 webinar will teach job seekers about the different types of resume formats,
how to know when to use them and practical resume tips
Buffalo, NY, December 20, 2013 – The average recruiter spends about six
seconds looking at a single resume, according to a study by The Ladders. That
means job seekers have six seconds to highlight their skills and expertise, making
the format of a resume as important as the content. For that reason, Bryant &
Stratton College Online announced today a new session in its career information
webinar series titled “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” The webinar will be
held on Friday, January 10 from noon to 1 p.m. EST.
During the “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” webinar, attendees will learn
practical tips and advice to improve their resume. Some of the topics covered in the
webinar will include:
•
•
•
•
The difference between chronological, functional, skills based and combination
resumes
When to use each type of resume
How to take a resume from responsibility-focused to success-focused
Dos and Don’ts of resume writing
The webinar will be led by Cindy Carpenter and Albanitza Mayoliz who handle
recruiting at Verizon for the Call Center and Retail Sales Channel, respectively. Ms.
Carpenter and Ms. Mayoliz are responsible for reviewing applications and
qualifications, identifying quality candidates, coordinating interviews, extending
offers and on boarding new hires. Both women are experienced recruiters with
extensive knowledge in recruiting practices, talent acquisition, on boarding, hiring,
career fairs, resume writing and career advancement and social media.
“There is an art to putting together a resume that most job seekers underestimate. A
typical recruiter may have to sort through hundreds, or even thousands, of resumes
to fill a position. A strong resume needs to communicate quickly and concisely why a
job seeker deserves to be considered for a position. To do that sometimes requires

2. deviating from the standard chronological format,” said Ms. Carpenter.
The “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” career information webinar is offered for
free by Bryant & Stratton College Online and is open to current students, prospective
students and others seeking information about how to write a resume. Those
interested in attending are invited to register at
