Excerpt
from Introduction to How to Write Winning Resumes
Welcome
to How to Write Winning Resumes,
a book written for people who are job hunting and need a winning resume
to open the door to job interviews. ... The focus of the book is on how
to write resumes and cover letters that sell your strengths and
abilities related to the job that you are seeking, and how to ace job
interviews.
The
writing premise of this book is based on a business-writing course that
I teach for University of Toronto continuing education students and for
private clients. In addition, I was a career counselor for almost a
decade, helping graduates apply for jobs. A great deal of my work
included conducting resume writing workshops as well as editing resumes.
...With
a winning resume and cover letter, you want to conveying your
experience in relation to the job you are seeking. And you want to do
this in a concise and focused manner so your readers understand why you
are writing, why you are qualified and what action you need them to
take--which is usually to call you (text or email you) to set up
interviews.
When
it comes to resume writing, How to Write Winning Resumes will get you
grounded and focused--especially if you often feel like you're spinning
your wheels when you write about yourself. Then it will help you
effectively write well-structured, focused resumes and cover letters
that communicate your experience, strengths and abilities in a clear,
concise manner. Finally, it will help you prepare to ace job interviews.
