Interview Success Tips

Product Description
A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Career Changers shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped real people change fields or industries. At a time when research shows that most working people have three distinctly different careers, at last there is a book which reveals the successful techniques involved in changing fields. Real-Resumes for Career Changers is based on the philosophy that an effective career-change resume must build bridges to new opportunities. The Table of Contents is designed to show individuals in varying degrees of career change and seeking different goals: finding a new career after motherhood, finding a new product to sell or represent, finding a completely different type of work to do, seeking a change but staying in the same industry, changing fields with absolutely no idea whats next, changing fields with a pretty good idea about whats ahead, and changing from self-employment to something totally different. Each resume and its companion cover letter shown is a picture of a successful career change, and the theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that career-change resumes are the most unusual and most creative because they are selling potential rather than experience.

All resumes in the book are one page in length, and all resumes are accompanied by a companion cover letter. The book begins with a brief section explaining the most effective job-hunting approachthe direct approach. This unique how-to book does not simply tell how to write an effective career-change resume and cover letter; it shows how in page after page of meaty examples.

Other titles in the series being released in the year 2000 are: Real-Resumes for Teachers, Real-Resumes for Students, Real-Resumes for Sales, and Real Essays for College & Grad School.
