Even complete idiots can get great jobs--just look at all the middle managers out there! The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume
by longtime rйsumй expert Susan Ireland will help you find and take the
perfect job. Even if you've been off the market for a while, been fired
recently, or are just starting out from school, you can package
yourself so irresistibly that you'll be working in no time. The first
section helps you devise a strategy for your hunt, including giving
yourself moral support, finding your strengths, and selling yourself in
two pages. Next we learn how to polish and refine a rйsumй until it
describes you working in your future dream job (not you working in your
dreary jobs of the past). Notes on special rйsumйs for academics and
others, cover letters that scream for attention, and a large section on
using e-mail and the Web to broaden your search are significant
advantages of The Complete Idiot's Guide over other rйsumй
books, and the samples provided are sure to inspire greatness. The
blend of written and visual learning helps move the reader along from
point to point quickly and easily, and the liberal helpings of
sidebars, tips, and hints make the dreaded job search almost fun. Even
if you're not management material, you'll find The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume a big help and well worth the small investment. --Rob Lightner
