Optimize your resume : proven techniques for competitive situations by
Optimize Your Resume provides proven techniques for use in competitive situations, maybe more than any other resume book. Any resume will get you a job if it: (1) has your name and contact information at the top of the page, (2) is presented in a format your audience is expecting, and (3) has flawless spelling. In fact, you don't really need a resume to get a job! But if you face competition, want to be noticed, have your resume pulled from the pile and get invited in to meet and interview, you want the strongest resume possible. You want a resume whose words can be absorbed from the page easily, one that gets across your strengths quickly because busy reviewers of your resume are likely skimming, not reading carefully. You want a resume informed by how people take in information as they review and that presents you in the best possible way. Optimize Your Resume helps you write this resume. Techniques illustrated with black and white artwork.
