		<description><![CDATA[Before you sit down to write your resume, it is important to identify a clear goal. Don&#8217;t try to use a &#8220;general&#8221; resume to send out to several employers. Each resume should be relevant to what the employer is looking for in a new employee.
For example, if you are applying for a data entry position, [...]]]></description>
