people are cutting back on non-essential cosmetic items
by diverting those funds into inflated prices o f food,
clothing and shelter. “ I find this year to be one o f my
best years. My first year was my worst and as time went
on business became better and better. 1 find that people
still want to look good. It might be harder now on a
regular beauty shop but women who are in high fashion
are conscious o f th eir appearance so they’ re always
changing. This group represents my clientele.”
Career-wide, would Mrs. Robinson recommend con­
centration in the business and reta il side o f
Cosmopology? “ Yes, although it’ s not for everybody.
After meeting someone at the door and assisting in the
selection o f a wig, I’ ve always made a nominal profit If
you are going to choose a career and you enjoy having
your own business then a botique is for you.”
Mrs. Robinson feels that in an age o f convience, wigs
will never go out o f style. She does however propagate
the caring o f one’ s own hair and offers her clientele the
option o f mixing in your own hair with that o f the one
you buy. M rs. Robinson is a professional whose
business reflects a successful venture in the pursuit o f
beauty.

Guides for
writing resumes
A well-developed visually attractive resume can be an
invaluable asset in a job search. Often the resume is the
first impression the employer obtains o f the applicant
and thus is a significant advertisement and marketing
implement for talents and abilities. Considerable time
anil effort should be given to its completion.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESUME
The objective o f the resume is not to get a job but to
obtain an interview. Keep in mind who w ill be reading it
and what he or she will be looking for. Chances are that
the person reading the resume w ill not have tim e to
labor through several pages o f detailed information. At
this point the employer does not want a comprehensive
life history and background - he does want a clear, con­
cise, and brief summary o f qualifications The resume,
therefore, should be limited to one page with a second
page added for ten years or more o f full-tim e experi­
ence. The applicant’ s goal through the resume is to at­
tract sufficient attention to create an interview oppor­
tunity.
Each in d iv id u a l brings d iffe re n t and unique
qualifications, abilities, and objectives to a potential
employer. Thus, each resume should be d iffe re n t as
each person is d iffe re n t. Design the content to em­
phasize strong points and accomplishments and de-
emphasize weak points. C ertain basic in fo rm a tio n ,
described below, should be included. However, the
amount o f space devoted to each category and the order
in which it appears is a matter o f choice.
(11 Id e n tific a tio n . This section includes name, ad­
dress, telephone number and area.
(2) Jo b O b jective . For those with little or no fu ll­
time work experience, the development of a concisely
described objective may be the most d iffic u lt task in
com p ilin g a resume. The jo b objective should be
specific enough to show that considerable thought has
been given to career planning. It must also be flexible
enough so that it does not preclude consideration for
related job opportunities o f interest. Type o f job, type
o f industry or employer, size o f employer, short range
career goal, and long range career goal exem plify
general topics which whould be mentioned.
