Need resume help? Check out the free assistance offered by volunteer members -- many of them active or retired small business owners -- of the Resume Review at St. Hubert's Jobs and Networking Ministry.
Based in Hoffman Estates but working through a network of about 30 suburban churches, the St. Hubert's Ministry is a broad jobseekers' support program founded in 2003 by Bob Podgorski, now principal of RPP Enterprises, a career programming consultancy in Hoffman Estates.
Chances are you'll find the people seeking -- and sharing -- resume advice are a lot like you:
• Senior C-Level executives to maintenance workers, is Podgorski's description.
• High-level engineers, computer people, waitresses, says Larry Prentis. "Most have no idea of what to do" in their job search.
Prentis is principal, LJP Services Inc., a Bloomingdale IT staffing and consulting business.
• Bob Placko's most recent review session included one individual out of work just a day; a Mom returning to the workforce after 14 years at home; and a father accompanied by an adult daughter. Dad needed a resume for the first time in 59 years.
Placko is a retired senior vice president of HR at Motorola Inc., Schaumburg.
Podgorski calls the review process a "bakery system. People come with their resumes, sign in and take a number. When a reviewer is free, the next number is called" and the reviewer and jobseeker get to work.
