Nancy Cornette is a career consultant, human resources professional and
educator with extensive experience in creating dynamic resumes. During the
past five years, she has assisted individuals in corporate job transition as
well as counseled University of South Carolina graduate students from the
International Masters of Business Administration at the USC Moore School of
Business and the Arnold School of Public Health on job search skills. Nancy
believes that resumes must communicate the value a potential job candidate
will bring to a new position. Actively defining a candidate’s skills is the
key factor in delivering the right message and getting the interview.
Prior to her work as a career consultant, Nancy was the director of
compensation, benefits and relocation for a Fortune 500 company. She has
worked at various corporate headquarters in the transportation,
manufacturing, pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
After attending Nancy’s seminar you’ll be equipped to take a fresh look at
your resume and make it more dynamic, interesting and unique. It then will
bring out the talent you offer an employer.
Everyone is welcome, please invite others. Bring your resume and a pen and
be ready to take action!
