RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Have you been looking for a job without success? A new book, Forget the Resume, says traditional methods may not be working and recommends a totally different approach.

If you're looking for a job, you're likely writing cover letters, posting your resume online, and attending job fairs. Marketing expert John Lee wrote in his book Forget the Resume, those approaches may not be getting the job done.

If you submit your resume to job search websites, Lee says many companies use technology to scan them for key words related to the job opening. If you don't use the right words, your resume won't get noticed.

"It has caused a lot of people to be left out that are really very qualified individuals," Lee explains.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- There is a new effort underway to help Richmond's K9 unit. The thirteen dogs and their officers work out of a training facility on the city's Northside that is overrun with mold, insects and structural issues.

The Richmond non-profit "Friends of Richmond K9" and City Councilman Jon Baliles want city council to put aside money for a new building.

Even though money is tight, Baliles says, it's all about priorities.

"The budget is all about assigning priorities," said Baliles. "There are some items in the capital improvement budget that city council wasn't really thrilled about funding. We wanted to find some priorities that we believe are more important and this is one of them."

The current Richmond K9 facility looks more like a blighted building than an office. The gutters are falling apart, brick mortar is crumbling, and the windows are boarded up.
