]]> Comment on Explaining Your Layoff to a Job Recruiter by John McCullough http://cvjblog.com/?p=394&cpage=1#comment-2012 John McCullough Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:16:22 +0000 http://cvjblog.com/?p=394#comment-2012 I am presently an employee for the United States Government on a seasonal employment basis expecting to face a layoff soon. My employer has been cutting back on converting employees on a seasonal basis to permanent employment due to government budget cutbacks. I am seeking employment with the small businesses in manufacturing or technical related. Can you please advise me on how I could explain my situation to a perspective employer? Thank you.

I think hiring managers know someone that is just feeding them a resume versus someone who really put in time to showcase their skills.

I agree with #1. I have tried to tailor my resume to the business I am submitting it to...it helps get you noticed and they can identify the skills you have that are relevant to them.
