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.
Real Resumes for Career Changers : Actual Resumes and Cover Letters
Before most people go in for a job interview, they will read over some sample interview questions to be prepared for what is expected of them. Some colleges and private schools require an interview in order for you to get accepted. If you’ve never done an interview before, you will want to know what questions may come your way and how you should answer them to leave a good impression, which is why sample interview questions are a great tool.
Sample interview questions that you can expect when you are trying to get a job will mostly be relevant to your goals and qualifications. The interviewer at some point should ask what you can offer to the company in terms of employment. It is important to be prepared for this question because they want to hire someone who will be good for the company. Show an interest in the company and make sure you convey that you would be proud to be an employee. Enthusiasm goes a long ways, but don’t over do it so that it looks like you are not sincere.
The questions you will be faced with when you are trying to get into a school are slightly different than the question for a job interview. Your good grades and accomplishments alone are not good enough to get you accepted. You must do a good interview. A couple of sample interview questions that you can expect will be “Why do you wish to attend this university?” and “What have you done to prepare for college?” Be interesting, and make sure that you do not seem full of yourself. Modesty and honesty should go hand in hand for the most successful outcome.
Whether you are trying to get a job or trying to get into a good school, it is vital that you have a good interview. Interviews are stressful but it should go relatively smoothly if you have familiarized yourself with sample interview questions. You can never be too prepared for an interview. The range of possible questions is very broad and you will not be able to be 100% prepared. This is due to the differences in managers that you may interview with. Each has his/her own style and you must quickly adapt to that style for success.
I have both interviewed people and been interviewed myself and the most significant aspect is being prepared for the interview. I almost always went with the candidate that showed me that they could contribute positively to the company. When interviewed, I would show just the right amount of enthusiasm mixed with genuine interest in my employer.
