Offered in 0 more formatsThe stodgy, old-fashioned typewritten rÂ(c)sumÂ(c) is a thing of the past--and Barron's has a brand-new rÂ(c)sumÂ(c) 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 rÂ(c)sumÂ(c). The author advises on taking full advantage of career planning internet sources and college career service centers. She also points out differences between paper rÂ(c)sumÂ(c)s and electronic rÂ(c)sumÂ(c)s and discusses methods of preparing each. In many career fields, a well-presented paper rÂ(c)sumÂ(c) will never go out of date, and this book explains how to organize rÂ(c)sumÂ(c) material, present past accomplishments succinctly, then "sell" one's skills with dynamic sentences and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 rÂ(c)sumÂ(c)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 rÂ(c)sumÂ(c)s that apply to everyone from first-time job hunters to executives seeking to advance their careers.
