Use the Traversing/prev function:

$('#resume').prev('div');

And if you know the CSS class of the div to be more specific:

$('#resume').prev('div.resumehint');

$(this).prev("div")

or

$(this).prev()

or

$(this).prev(".resumehint")

you can replace $(this) with $('#resume') if you are outside a function.
