is an important time of year especially for seniors and juniors as
you begin to pursue such objectives as finding a job and researching
internships. Resumes are important in this process so this month’s
focus is on one of the standard career guides in the profession for
writing resumes. From the Magic Series by Jist Publishing comes
Resume
Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer.
Susan
Whitcomb considers what a resume is in her opening chapters and says
“it’s much more than a summary of whom you worked for and what you
did.” It’s also “an advertisement that appeals to employers’
specific needs; a formal business communication that indicates your
command of vocabulary, punctuation and grammar; a keyword index that
represents your knowledge base; and finally, a unique art form that
combines font-work, layout, and design principles to create a
definitive visual appeal.” |
