In a highly career-focused and competitive business world, job seekers need to be armed with winning strategies to get their foot in the door. Given that the resume is one of the few elements of the selection process that job seekers have absolute control over, it makes sense for them to have a resume with the greatest chance of winning the interest of the recruiter and securing an interview.
Unlike the majority of books written about resumes, this book is based on groundbreaking research findings on what influences recruitment professionals and how the recruitment industry operates, rather than thin anecdotal evidence.
Using a relaxed, humorous approach, this practical and easy-to-read book includes strategies for preparing resumes from recruiters themselves: examples of resumes and covering letters that recruiters have said they love (with a description of why they have worked); solutions to commonly experienced resume difficulties; and key markets - university graduates, school leavers, recently retrenched employees.
