Dr. Curton gives resume tips at Blissfield library program.

BLISSFIELD, MI – On Thursday, October 25, at 7:00 pm, The Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library in Blissfield presents Adrian College English Professor Dr. Carman Curton as part of its Phyllis Robertson Lecture Series. Dr. Curton’s program, titled, “Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Creating Resumes with Pop-ortunity,” will offer tips and guidelines for creating effective resumes and cover letters.

Also the wife of Schultz-Holmes Library Director Bob Barringer, Dr. Curton has led many seminars on resume writing and business writing. She brings to the enterprise 20 years of experience in advertising, professional writing, and the teaching of writing. Her approach combines the principles of advertising and technical writing to create a layout and narrative that is inviting and effective, positioning the job applicant as a valuable commodity.

The library’s Phyllis Robertson Lecture Series was made possible by a gift from the estate of Phyllis Robertson, a local writer and photographer, as well as a long-time benefactor to and advocate of the library. Programs this fall will include a resume seminar and a special preview of the Adrian Symphony’s holiday concert by the orchestra’s conductor.
