Encyclopedia of Job-Winning Resumes

Encyclopedia of Job-Winning Resumes includes more than 400 success-proven resume examples that teach you how to personalize your resume according to your own unique career situation.

The first chapter - The Essentials of Writing Your Resume - is as informative as it is brief. It includes expert advice about what information to include in your resume, what to omit, what to emphasize and what to tone down. For a quick start, it’s specifically designed to keep reading to a minimum so you can start sending out your resume as soon as possible. The second chapter, devoted to creating hard-hitting cover letters, includes 40 examples that cover a wide variety of typical career situations.

For students, there’s also a chapter containing 40 resumes to help new graduates enter the work force more quickly and easily. The last chapter includes a Recommended Reading list and a Recommended Web Site list. Whatever your age, industry, career, level of experience or education, you’ll find the resume template you need.
