How to Write Better Resume and Cover Letters (мягк) (Британия ИЛТ)

The stodgy, old-fashioned typewritten r©sum© is a thing of the past--and Barron's has a brand-new r©sum© manual designed to propel today's job seekers toward success! The emphasis is on organizing one's job qualifications and career experience to make the best possible presentation, but this how-to book focuses on a far broader range of job-seeking techniques than simply writing a good r©sum©. The author advises on taking full advantage of career planning internet sources and college career service centers. She also points out differences between paper r©sum©s and electronic r©sum©s and discusses methods of preparing each. In many career fields, a well-presented paper r©sum© will never go out of date, and this book explains how to organize r©sum© material, present past accomplishments succinctly, then "sell" one's skills with dynamic sentences and power verbs. It also shows how to prepare scannable and e-mailable r©sum©s, create dynamic cover letters, include photos and references when required, select appropriate type faces and paper colors, and much more. The author also inspires job seekers with scores of model r©sum©s that apply to everyone from first-time job hunters to executives seeking to advance their careers.
