Resumes Etc. Pocket Job Series No. 2.
Lindgren, Amy
This book is the second in a series of six pocket-sized books written for career changers and laid-off workers. Each book is written at a 7th- to 10th-grade reading level and contains examples, hands-on self-discovery exercises, and step-by-step advice for a successful job search. This book provides easy-to-follow instructions for resumes, cover letters, follow-up letters, and applications in a workbook format. It covers these topics: completing applications; four types of resumes--summarizing, career-changer, chronological, and functional; electronic resumes; and writing cover and follow-up letters. Other contents include a bibliography of 11 helpful books for job seekers, an index, and space for notes. (YLB)
