Description
Hiring is hard. By most accounts, making a hiring decision is a 50-50 situation for employers. As a job seeker, this can be heartbreaking to hear. But rather than focus on what could be construed as negative, this book explores the opportunities for job seekers.
While How to Write a Résumé focuses on career chronicling content (including résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles), it also shows job seekers a different way of approaching the job hunting process and how to present themselves to employers. This book is for job seekers who are stuck on deciding what to include (and exclude) on a résumé. It’s for job seekers who haven’t been in the job market for a while and need an update on what’s what.
This book is about positioning yourself in the most effective way possible so that hiring managers and recruiters know right away that they should consider you for the opportunity in question. Job seekers should focus on what they can control. Put simply, it’s their professional narrative. Read this book and learn how to write yours.
