About this title

From the Author

I've spent over twenty-five years thinking and writing about the many twists & turns you have to navigate in achieving long-term career success. Before this I had a hugely successful career from an early age: Silicon Valley headhunter, Director of H.R. for a publicly traded technology company and Director of Training for a multi-national headhunter franchise. If you are concerned with career success, welcome to my world.
I'm a N.Y.Times bestseller with books that starting with the resume deliver a totally new approach to career management and replace blind loyalty to uncaring employers, with a focus that puts your survival, success and personal fulfillment at its center.
With 82 domestic editions you can see that my books are continually updated and therefore must work! When you know that my work has been collectively published in some 62 foreign language editions, you get some idea of its global acceptance. I also give resume and other career advice to the experts: I'm the career columnist for the international Society For Human Resource Management - the people who stand between you and that job you want.
If recognize how important your resume is to, not just getting a job, but intelligently supporting your professional growth, then you need credible advice, which demands that the advice you follow is backed by real experience and verifiable credentials - someone who's been down the road before.
I've helped millions of other professionals, from interns starting out to financial titans who are board members of public corporations. I can help you build a killer resume to land your next step on the ladder of success AND give you greater control of your professional future. This is what I love to do.

From the Inside Flap

Show me a stalled job search and I'll show you a flawed resume. When it comes to a job search, you are your resume and its content and packaging are the tools that open the doors of opportunity for you.
Your resume ensures that prospective employers and professional colleagues see you, as you deserve to be seen. Slack off on your resume and you can say goodbye to the best opportunities and the career opportunities that leads to.
Your Knock Em Dead resume will:

Deliver a resume that consistently gets pulled from resume databases.

Pass the recruiters' ultra-fast first scan test.

Communicate intelligently and professionally with hiring managers.

On top of all this, the practical resume building process you'll learn will also prepare you to talk about the job's big issues and answer the tough questions you'll face in job interviews. And it's all based on a unique but common sense approach you'll be able to grasp and apply to many situations throughout your career.
Knock Em Dead Resumes 11th edition will give you the best resume you have ever owned, with the content and structure that makes you stand out from the crowd.
