Quickly and easily, your new résumé will skillfully highlight what you can do and why you're the best person for the job.   The art of the résumé is broken down into clear, succinct instructions. No tricks (cramming in scannable buzzwords); no gimmicks (using a variety of fonts); no filler (using bulleted lists and wide margins); and no sleights of hand (omitting start and end dates)--instead, the book shows you how to compress your work experience into meaningful statements; replace hollow self-puffery with solid evidence; strip out the \"I\"; eliminate errors; format for readability; and deliver your content in creative, more effective ways.   Hundreds of action statements to use and vague, trite claims to avoid will bring focus and energy to your content. Sample résumés and position descriptions guide you in telling your unique story. And invaluable tips help you at every step of your job search, from handling online applications, to writing persuasive cover letters, to acing the interview. Whether you're reworking your old résumé or starting from scratch, these time-tested résumé rules will help you stand out from the competition. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSCOTT BENNETT has reviewed more than 100,000 résumés, conducted thousands of interviews, and hired hundreds of employees in organizations both large and small. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.28 x 5.79 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47450319028402,"sku":"9780814433935","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/16fcbb34dbf2701824b267f69f702c09.webp?v=1778783853","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/elements-of-resume-style-softcover-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
