Chapter 5 - Resumés and References
As you read through this sample chapter, you will notice some key enhancements for the fifth edition.
Enhanced information and features:
MY Focus. Because self-marketing is a central theme in this edition and is so central to a successful job search and career, marketing tips and other helpful information are highlighted in a special feature called MY Focus (Market Yourself Focus). MY Focus encourages students to apply ideas and suggestions found in each chapter.
Finding Your Focus. Unique end-of-chapter questions that encourage the reader to recall key concepts from the chapter and to reflect and apply these ideas on a personal level. Both MY Focus and Finding Your Focus help move the owner of this book from mere reader to active user of these critical concepts and job-search strategies.
Expanded coverage of Resumés
- Step-by-step instructions for converting your chronological resumé to a functional resumé
- New resumé technology, including a step-by-step guide on how to most effectively upload an electronic resumé to a company website.
- Six different types and styles of resumés, including targeted resumés
One very important feature of this fifth edition is the Companion Website. This interactive tool provides an online dimension of interactivity and self-exploration. The Companion Website features chapter objectives and highlights, test questions, useful internet links, special worksheets, and further support information for the chapters in this book. Students can also use the Companion Website's Grade Tracker function to record and review their own progress on the self-graded quizzes.
