Gary North wrote the following response with a business idea to my question.
He says to build a resume writing program, where I teach people the following:
1. Resume writing.
2. Interview.
He says to charge $97 for a one-year subscription, $8/month, resume writing program. Resume writing services that I provide will be separate. And he says to not sell my resume writing services until that person takes my course. He says
My USP would be this, The site must produce this response with people in high salary expectations, "I had better pay this guy for a premium personalized service." Okay, this is good. This can be the selling point for the program and for resume writing itself.

ON NETWORKING
I'd wished someone would have steered me in the right direction on this topic. I had no clue. And ended up losing a lot.
1. She suggests using LinkedIn.
2. And Alumni Databases.
3. Seminars, panels, conferences, advisers, professors, administrators,
4. Conduct informational meetings for 20 or 30 minutes.
5. Develop a Professional Introduction. Name, what you have to offer, and next steps. 80% of your time should be spent networking. Find out what someone's needs are. Ask
"What problems or issues they're facing?"
More on Networking here. I really loath this. I guess I have to learn to love it.
I've known a couple of people who've used peripheral or part-time employment as a networking tool. It's not that they sought part-time work, but it was a default option assigned them early in their careers. They just used effectively. They sought out people of influence and authority, they asked questions from secretaries, counselors, teachers, etc. They talked to supervisors, always connecting but never asking for a job. Simply letting them know their training and background. Then when positions became open, who do you think was the first person that the supervisor and head of department called out to?
HOW TO CARRY YOUR RESUME INTO AN INTERVIEW
1) Carry it in a portfolio, not a manila envelope. A portfolio shows organization, that the meeting is important to all parties. It shows executive abilities. Most people don't do this.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. She reminds you to use action words in your descriptions.

2. Was not impressed with this 2-column version of a Cover Letter. I mean it is an interesting idea, but I don't think it would go over well with someone who is reading a hundred or so of these and in fact prefers standard formats. In many ways, it's the words that win the day and not the format. Not always but mostly.

Here is a sample of a very clever makeover of a boring resume. I would be careful with fancy or elaborate designs. The reader, aka, headhunter, is looking for talent on the page, not design. The clever little tricks could turn them off and put your resume toward the bottom of the pile.
What headhunters are looking for specific qualities. I know what those are. Want to know how to phrase them and where to put them on your resume? Call me.

I worked at a large computer corporation and I agree about leaving degree off. I did not hire directly, but I heard hiring managers chatter about resumes they would peruse before selecting interviewees. Putting a GPA down is ridiculous on a resume and make you look like you are still a student who needs hand holding. A lot of decision makers in that field tolerate degrees, but hardly any care about them and sometimes even resent them a bit, many never having acquired them in the first place. HR seems to like them, but they don't have much decision making power once you can get pass them. Where it does seem to matter is if you are being hired specifically for engineering type of work and then in that case the people hiring you probably have degrees too. Inside the same company, if it is a large one, each department has their own style of selecting people, regardless of what HR forces them to do.
This woman was in the top 3 records that came up on an Amazon search for resumes. Her name is Joyce Lain Kennedy and she has written several "Dummie" books on resumes. She's compiled several books:
1. Job Interviews for Dummies.
2. Successful Job Interviews for Dummies.
3. Job Search Letters for Dummies. By "Job Search Letters" Kennedy is referring to all of the documents that one generally associates with finding a job--Resume, Cover Letter, Thank You letter, CV, and so forth.
4. Resumes for Dummies.
5. Cover Letters for Dummies.
6. CV for Dummies.
. . . and the list goes on.
In her Joe Search Letters for Dummies, she writes in her Introduction that “Despite mind-blowing change now and tomorrow, bear in mind that technology does not and cannot replace human interaction at every turn of the employment process. For that reason, a number of the sample job search letters in these pages are intended to be passed by hand, depending on the circumstances.” In her introduction, she does not identify what those circumstances are.
Talk to a recruiter to find out which documents are most important in the respective fields.

On Writing a Resignation Letter. Thanks to Harry Hobbes.
Here's the ideal letter of resignation:
[from address]
[boss' name and business address]
Date
Dear [bosses name],
I hereby resign from my employment at [xyz company], effective [date].
Signed,
[signature]
[typed name]
CC: [HR]
******************************************
A Letter of Resignation should only be used to establish documented evidence of your choice to end employment. Anything more is superfluous and could be detrimental to your future opportunities. The "one-liner" states the only important fact, and leaves no opportunity for misrepresentation. More to the point: you are not asking; you are telling; and it is unconditional.
Also note that it is neither the purpose of, nor the effect of any letter of resignation to fix anything or anyone. The content of the letter is a private business communication that will not be shared outside of your chain of command and HR. (To do so would put the firm in jeopardy of litigation.)
Also note that one builds one's [employment] reputation prior to the resignation, rather than with the Letter of Resignation; hence, the letter is not an effective marketing device, and never will be.
Also note that what one "learns" is wholly dependent upon oneself; management, supervisors, and peers merely provide the context. If you feel you must offer gratitude, offer it for the context; but offer it orally in a manner by which you wish to be remembered. In other words, consider what reputation you want to follow you.
Also note that regardless of the content of the letter, you will be "debriefed" in a closed meeting IF the management team wants your opinion; otherwise, they'll remain silent. The purpose of any debrief will be an attempt to obtain "the truth." And, from their perspective the truth about how p***** off you may be. Remember the old intelligence maxim: there are no winners in an interrogation; only degrees of loss. (And, don't be so naive to think they'll act on your complaints; if they were so disposed, they would have already acted.) So, before the fact, consider how much you can afford to lose by getting chatty.
Lastly, remember that you are under no obligation to communicate the whys and wherefores or rationale of your decisions. These are your private business. Period.

Some decent tips on building your resume.
Friday, October 3, 2014
Be sure to watch, listen to, and read this presentation by Hans Eckman. It's great. Here is his YouTube channel. Check it out.
Recommendations:
1. At work, see if you can do just a little bit extra to accomplish something that can be quantified. Saved X dollars relative to the goal. Developed new process reducing manpower by X%. Reduced waste... You get the point. This gets your resume worth reading.
Resume Addendum. Know what it is and what it's used for. Eckman includes one in his PowerPoint.
Recommendations:
1. At work, see if you can do just a little bit extra to accomplish something that can be quantified. Saved X dollars relative to the goal. Developed new process reducing manpower by X%. Reduced waste... You get the point. This gets your resume worth reading.
2. When we "accomplish," we are not doing, we've done; and we're ready to go after that next accomplishment. This is not true of doing; HR and hiring managers know this, which is why they look for accomplishments on a résumé.
Thinking in terms of accomplishments predisposes a future orientation; an orientation that is critical to establishing direction toward a productive end, and effectively staying ahead of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This is why (virtually) all planning processes have an end target, sometimes labeled goal or objective; we do not "do" a goal, it's the thing to be accomplished; a destination to arrive at.
Your accomplishment of choice will be derived from your vision of your future, so I suggest that you start developing that vision. This will require some amount of research on your part; essentially you are envisioning what you want to be, your chosen destination, and what you will accomplish. (Also, be careful not to conflate "be" with "accomplish;" they will relate, but are not the same.) Your resume must contain accomplishments. Accomplishments declare the forward-thinking that companies are looking for.

INTERNET JOB BANKS
1. Use this source for active campaigns. Actually, you can use some of the same sources for Passive campaigns. Find the postings and prepare a list for the client of jobs relevant to his searches.
You can use these journals to prepare lists of current job leads for your clients.
Sell your client a list of recently advertised job opportunities.
Imagine the good will you can create by telling him about a job opening you came across that meets his qualifications perfectly.
Passive web campaigns involve posting resumes on various Internet resume banks
where employers can view them.
Some resume banks charge you for posting a resume. Others let you post a
resume for free and charge employers to view them.
Either way, you can charge your client a fee to post his resume for him — over and above any fee charged by the resume bank.
The client tells you which ones he wants to apply to, and pays a fee for each application. You then prepare a resume and cover letter in electronic form and submit them over the Internet.

Targeted direct mail campaigns may seem rather old-fashioned compared to using the Internet. And they are more costly to conduct. But for high-income executives, they make a much nicer presentation to potential employers than web campaigns.
The basic procedure is this...
1. You put together a list of potential employers (using the databases mentioned earlier, executive job lead publications or other sources).
2. The client decides which ones to apply to and pays you in advance.
3. You prepare the resumes, cover letters (which the client signs), and envelopes.
4. Either give these to the client to mail or mail them on his behalf.
You get a big fee for doing all this, of course... but it’s justified by the time, expense and labor you save your client. And fulfilling a package is easier for you,
because you’re only working with one client on all these products. If no other resume writers in your area offer such comprehensive deals, it can be a great way to gain that competitive advantage.

But what if you could save him that effort by handing him a list of companies and recruiters that matched his criteria? Wouldn’t that be worth a small fee? Of course it would!
