Newest Feature on DI Network - All For Good!

See our newest feature on DI Network: All For Good!

All "In College" sections sites now feature All For Good apps!

"Inspired by the call of President Obama to engage more Americans in service, a group of individuals from the technology, marketing and public sectors came together to build an open source application that allows you to find and share volunteer activities. All for Good lets you browse activities and find events based on your location or interests. The site is governed by Our Good Works a nonprofit organization that was formed by some of the people who initiated the project and who support the product's growth.

Even better - sign in with your primary social network to connect with friends, and discover and share interesting activities. Doing good is more fun together!"

Premium Resume Resources - $18.99 Introductory Price

DetroitIntern Network is providing low-cost resume resources as part of the September 18 Fall Launch.

In this slowly improving but extremely tough economic market, recent graduates and many in transition are looking for reliable information for creating or improving one's resume.

We found that much of the information and free resources on the Internet are poorly organized, incomplete, from an unknown source, or just contain useless, bad advice.

The typical resume resource offers simplistic statements without much explanation such as the following:

"Avoid typos and grammatical errors."

Great, but how does that help! How does it relate to your own experiences? How can you fix this?

The following simple examples highlight the depth DetroitIntern Network resources will provide:

Avoid typos and grammatical errors. This is crucial because reviewers judge candidates on their grammar and spelling. Bad grammar and sloppy spelling are the equivalent of stains on an expensive suit. They create a bad appearance but can be easily cleaned. Here are some tips:

1. Use your word processor's spell check, but be careful to not rely on it only.

ex: If you spelled "effect" and you meant "affect," the spell check will not catch this mistake. But the reviewer will.

2. Proofread your resume after taking an extended break once you finish drafting your resume.

3. Have somebody else proofread your resume. Fresh eyes can see what you can't see.

4. Use active verbs and avoid passive verbs. Active verbs provide your resume personality and allows you to get straight to the point! Passive verbs make you and your resume seem wordy and boring.

For example:

• Active example: "Worked in the community."
• Passive example: "I was in the community working."
  

.................

Every crucial point will be explained with easy to understand analogies and examples. How? We have partnered with Kris Plantrich of ResumeWonders Writing and Career Coaching Services. Kris brings a plethora of experience and accreditations including:
