New eBook on Resume Writing
Let's face it, resume writing can be difficult and stressful. To help combat the confusion when writing a resume, try refreshing your memory with some useful tips.
CareerHub is a great source for career tips, and interviewing and resume tools. Recently, they posted a link to one of Louise Fletcher's e-books called Insider's Guide to Resume Writing. The ebook is sent to recipients via email and can be found here. This is a timeless source for not only writing your resume, but offers other ideas and guidance about finding a job.
Here are a couple of chapters that I found most interesting and provides some sage advice.
· Louis Fletcher's chapter called "Don't Write a Resume - Tell a Story." This section focuses on shaping your resume to tell what you have done and how you did it.
· Another chapter called "How to Pass the Hiring Manager's 30-Second Test" is based on the idea that hiring managers only take 30-seconds to review a resume. This provides job seekers useful advice for creating a resume that stands out from the masses.
· Also check out the chapter titled the "Pros and Cons of the Two-Page Resume." This gives some food for thought when considering what to add or delete from your resume.
Resumes are the most important first step in the job search. They are often your first impression, and represent the type of employee/candidate that you are so make sure its a good one. Good luck!
