Resumes
A resume is considered to be a formal introduction to a potential employer. Your resume should capture the employer's attention and create the desire for him or her to meet and interview you. To create or update your resume, please come into Job Central (Room C-6) at the Sutter County One Stop.

Self Assessments
The reason the Sutter County One Stop encourages taking some types of personal assessment (personality, interest, work environment, values, and/or abilities assessment), is that knowing yourself better, will save you from wasting your life on career choices that leave you unfulfilled. As we get to know ourselves better, we can look at a career description, and see how it does or does not match our values and/or personality style.
