Resumes are your calling card to employers, displaying your credentials. In the past, it was popular to create one or two resumes, head to the printer, and order hundreds of each to mail to target companies. That is no longer true today.
Based on today’s real-world job search trends, MODERNIZE YOUR RESUME shows you how to craft a winning resume to meet the complexities of today’s highly competitive and technologically driven employment market. The 2nd edition has been updated with new resume samples, designs, ATS and e-resume guidelines, and new chapters for job seekers with special circumstances – career change, military transition, and return to work.
The entire job search process is evolving at a remarkably rapid pace, and your resume is at the foundation of it all. In this book, you’ll learn to:
- Write tight, lean, clean, and laser-focused content that lets you tell your whole career story in half the words to keep your reader engaged. Focus on information relevant to your target market and integrate keywords vital to being found online.
- Present important information quickly in a resume format that prominently displays your skills, experience, education, and other credentials as they support your current career objectives.
