Reviews
The
stodgy, old-fashioned typewritten résumé is
a thing of the past—and Barron’s has a brand-new
résumé 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 résumé. The author advises on
taking full advantage of career planning internet sources
and college career service centers. She also points out differences
between paper résumés and electronic résumés
and discusses methods of preparing each. In many career fields,
a well-presented paper résumé will never go
out of date, and this book explains how to organize résumé
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 résumés,
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 résumés that apply to everyone from
first-time job hunters to executives seeking to advance their
careers.
