From the supplier: The staggering number of job seekers and the current electronic process of tracking qualified applicants make the chance of being selected for a particular job very small. However, this can be augmented by making a creative and substantive resume. Careful planning on the resume's format and use of key words and phrases comprehendible by the automatic computer language ASCII are among the basic standards to observe. Furthermore, a precise outline of personal objective, accomplishments, previous employment records and acquired professional degrees need to be carefully presented.

Testimonials from people who have effectively used this book:
"A book showing managers how to market their skills and experience is what I waslooking for. This book shows resumes that talk the language of business, and I learned how to present my accomplishments related to market share growth and profitability increases. At last, I found a pleasing format to show off my track record of accomplishment. 'Tooting my own horn' doesn't come naturally for me, but this book showed me how to do it in a tasteful way." -- E. Koch, Telecommunications Manager
"When I was unexpectedly downsized in a poor economy, the headhunters who used to call me no longer offered employment opportunities. Thank heavens I found this book, because a generic book on resumes would not have helped. I needed a book that showed resumes used by middle managers and executives. I had many 'Ah ha' moments while reading the resumes in this book. The 288-page book contains sample after sample, and I liked the way the book shows the cover letters that accompanied the resumes. By tailoring the language to my unique circumstances, I regained my confidence in my own abilities and accomplishments. The result was multiple job offers in a weak economy."
S. Ferrell
"With the resume and cover letter I prepared using this book, I transitioned from store management into pharmaceutical sales. I learned how to sell my potential to do something I'd never done before!" --Chris G.
"Because of the resume and cover letter I wrote based on samples in this book, I boosted my salary by $35,000." --Bill J.
