NORTHBOROUGH, Mass, September 9, 2010 — Pongo Resume, the premier full-service online resume-building resource that provides a suite of tools to help job seekers market and manage their careers, will be giving away four one-month subscriptions and four complementary resume reviews in September as part of International Update Your Resume Month.
To win, entrants must log on to Twitter, follow @Ask_Pongo and tweet the following: "I need a #resume review from @Ask_Pongo http://bit.ly/cmzb1v". Each tweet will be counted as an entry. The more you tweet, the more chances you'll have to win a free month of service and a free resume review. (Each entrant must have a Twitter account to participate.) Pongo will announce one winner on the @Ask_Pongo page on Twitter each Wednesday in September at 5 p.m. Eastern starting today.
International Update Your Resume Month was created by Career Directors International to raise awareness of the importance of updating your resume, whether you’re an active job seeker or a satisfied employee.
"At Pongo, we’ve always believed you should update your resume any time you start a new job, get a promotion, or achieve a noteworthy accomplishment," said Rodney Capron, Jr., President and CEO of Pongo Resume. "But we know that's often not a top priority. So we hope this observance and contest will provide a helpful reminder to update your resume."
