The Job Winners Guide to Résumés, by Rupert French
You have found a job that you would really love and you want to make sure that your application gives you the best chance of getting it. You may have sent off many résumés in the past -- but too often you don't get an interview. This book will give you the competitive edge you need. It's a surefire approach to being shortlisted because you are giving employers the information they want in the way they want it.
Writing a winning résumé is hard work but it's not rocket science. It is just good marketing of you and your skills. This book uses an approach to writing résumés that is similar to the approach a small business takes to market its products or services, an approach that has been spectacularly successful in helping my clients sell themselves to prospective employers. Step by step the chapters in this book take you through the process of writing effective résumés and covering letters, steps that will successfully market your skills and abilities. And if the job you are applying for is one you really want, it's worthwhile putting in the extra effort to give yourself the best chance of winning it.
Your résumé needs to make interesting reading. You want the employer to sit up and take notice of you. It should be based on a thorough understanding of the job. It needs to be a dynamic document, attractively laid out and with your personality showing through every line. This is the end result that we are after. However, it's easy to say what we're aiming for but where do we start? Each chapter in this book takes you a step closer to a winning résumé.
