About this title

Synopsis

We sometimes think that one cannot get a job without having experience and cannot get experience without having a job. This strategy will show you how to get a job by writing a resume that showcases: (1) your skills (rather than your experience); (2) your coursework; or (3) a single experience or a few experiences (rather than prior positions). You will prepare to get the job you want, without having to have already had the job you want. You will remove yourself from the job search conundrum by restructuring your resume and your job searches to show what you can do, rather than simply list the positions you have held. This job search will be designed around a set of resumes, which you will build from a master list describing your skills or individual experiences. The book will also guide you on how to write an effective cover letter, avoid networking pitfalls, interview well, and minimize bad references by keeping those bad influences away from your future employer. This strategy guides job searchers who are transitioning to better experiences by showing them how to showcase skills and single experiences for a better position. It also guides recent university graduates by showing them how to showcase coursework, instead of job experience, to get the job the first time around. This is the strategy, without the workbook.
