101 Best Resumes for Grads
A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
The ultimate resume and job-hunting guide for recent grads
Written by the bestselling career author team of Jay Block and Mike Betrus, this book helps graduates parlay their diplomas into their all-important, first real jobs. Unlike most other resume guides, 101 Best Resumes for Grads assumes no prior work history or job experience, making it the ideal choice for grads in the 18- to 24-year-old age bracket. Yet, it also offers invaluable advice and guidance for the growing population of older grads, including those who returned to school in midlife in order to pursue new careers, and women returning to the workforce after raising a family.
Includes:
- Resumes for more than 50 areas of specialization
- Job-hunting strategies, from networking to job-hunting etiquette
- Online job search tips, including formatting resumes for online posting, using job databases, and more
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent Work
This book was very useful. The resume examples were helpful, but the best thing I saw was the tactical tips on how to use the resume, how to network, what to say, how to use career fairs and on-campus recruiting, alumni, etc. Gave me some good ideas. In fact, I did something in networking at a job fair that they wrote about in a case study that got me a good interview.
5 Stars Great resource for college grads and all youung professionals
One of the most daunting tasks for new graduates is writing their resume. They wonder, “What’s going to make me stand out to an employer?” “How do I explain why I wasn’t working for 3 months after graduation?” “What’s the best way to make sure my resume isn’t thrown into the trash?”
This book answers all those questions and more. Best of all, there is an example of just about any type of resume you could ever need. Every college graduate and young professional should own a copy of this book.
