ECHO: Bridging the Gap Between Crisis and Stability

ECHO’s mission goes beyond addressing immediate needs like food and clothing. We work to bridge the gap between crisis and stability. Every day, we see how unemployment and underemployment create financial uncertainty for families. ECHO’s Back-to-Work programs help neighbors improve their employment situations and regain stability.

Tips from the ECHO Job Coach Team

• Keep your resume concise (one page is optimal).
• Highlight the most relevant information in the top third of the page.
• For privacy and safety, do not include personal addresses.
• Use a font size of at least 11 and margins no smaller than 0.5 inches.
• Use Google to find jobs, but apply directly on the company’s website for a better connection to HR.
• Customize your resume for each job instead of using “Easy Apply.”
• Save job descriptions to your computer for reference during interviews.
• Schedule an Appointment
