CANTON, GA -- The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce will sponsor its fifth annual resume assistance event next week for area residents.

The event will be held from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 13 at the Chamber's offices at 3605 Marietta Highway in Canton.

Professionals will be on hand throughout the day to provide individual assistance to participants in creating their resume, revising an existing resume to make it more attractive to hiring managers, enhancing their job search skills and to practice their interview skills.

Renamed Passport to Employment for 2016, this annual outreach event is an opportunity for citizens to receive one-on-one professional assistance free of charge.

“Whether you are currently in a job search, are entering the job market, or are considering a possible career move in the future, it’s critical that you market yourself effectively and separate yourself from other candidates seeking the same position,"said Amy Leatherman of Chattahoochee Technical College, who is serving as chair of this year's resume assistance event. "A job search is, in many ways, a sales presentation that requires proper marketing and planning. The team of experts who are generously donating their time and expertise to this event have one specific goal in mind --- provide the candidate with the professional advice, assistance, and tools that will make them more confident and more effective in presenting their value to potential employers.”
