Resume Book
3rd Edition

Dear Reader,

To the inexperienced eye, the difference between an average resume and a great one is minimal. To the sophisticated eye of the corporate recruiter or prospective employer, the difference is enormous. It translates into getting the interview or simply being dismissed, even if your credentials and work experience are strong.

This book is meant for all readers — the ones who are writing their resume from scratch and the ones who are eager to improve it. You always want to present your best version of yourself so that hiring authorities are eager to meet you. The Everything® book format makes creating a great resume easy for all levels of job candidates. It will also help you navigate the technology and methods today's job seeker uses to get noticed.

Use your resume as your key to a world of job opportunities!

Good luck with your career!
