Synopsis

Only one interview is granted for every 250 resumes received

With The Resume Handbook, you can make sure yours is the one on top! Your resume has one purpose: to obtain an interview. In order to create an interview-winning resume, you need to know what to say and how to say it - and The Resume Handbook will show you how.

The book focuses on three major objectives:

• Organization: Give your resume structure and visual impact to immediately capture attention
• The Basics: What to include and what to leave out so you don't turn off the reader
• Accomplishments: Present yourself as a highly motivated achiever

Now in its fifth edition, The Resume Handbook features thirty-seven of the best resumes ever written and provides no-nonsense advice for making your resume stand out from the crowd.
