Product Description
In these tough economic times companies are downsizing, outsourcing, and merging, and job seekers are facing more competition than ever. You need a great resume to stand out from the crowd. Your resume is a platform to detail your achievements and experience. A resume is a "marketing" document, designed to "sell" an employer on why they should contact and ultimately hire you. You will learn the basic components that must be in your resume, resume formats, key action words, common resume myths, what fonts to use, how to stress accomplishments, what information you should never put on a resume, how to write your resume from the employer s perspective, how to write the resume to fit the job, what words to use and what words never to use, techniques to get the interview, the secrets of a great cover letter, how to best describe your experience, how to detail employment gaps, and how to develop a professional resume. You also will learn about paper selection, electronic resumes, white space, margins, graphics, and computer software to help layout your resume. If you use all this information, you will give yourself that edge over the competition that you deserve.

Inspiration adn Education in One Book August 25, 2008
Brandi D. Day (Orlando, FL)
Wow! I never thought about writing a resume in such detail until this book. From the introduction, I was excited about the possibilities presented. The author gave hope for finding the right job for me even in a tough economy. And then, once hope was generated, the book walked step by step through everything I ever needed to know to be thorough in writing a resume that will get me noticed. There was no specific agenda or sales pitch. Plus, I didn't have to read it straight through, I could flip to the chapters I needed. For me, Chapter 9 was the bet part, helping to deal with the difficult situations in life, everything from a criminal history to gaps in employment to being over-qualified. With this book, I was given the opportunity to seek the job I wanted. And, just when I thought I was prepared to begin my new and improved job search, the book detailed everything from writing a cover letter to preparing for the interview and following up. It really is a full service career counselor tucked into 290 pages readily available for constant review.
Doggone good resume book! August 20, 2008
Robert R. Quarteroni (Luzerne PA)
Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks; at least this slightly seasoned dog believes you can, and this is one great book for learning news ways to do an old thing: Create an effective resume.
After a career in first daily journalism and then higher education public relations I find myself in the job market again. I thought that my old resume, constructed over the years, would be fine. Boy, was I wrong.
But Dale Mayer, in "How To Write and Design a Professional Resume and Get the Job" came to the rescue. Her 287-book is chock full of everything you need to write a good, perhaps great, resume. What I found best was the series of "self-assessment" worksheets. They let me see that my resume was all over the place and that I needed to redo it to "include only what is relevant to the post" I am applying for. So I have.
And you can too. Whether you want to create a basic, targeted, creative, web or video resume this book can show you how to do it, covering the basics from cover letters to interview techniques. And the accompanying CD-ROM lets you view various resume styles that can be adapted to your particular needs
