Resumes 3.0 ─ Tools to Find Your Next Job!

Resumes are one of many tools required by job searchers. However, a resume is not necessarily the centerpiece of today’s job search as it was in the past. Your job search is flexible; it is personalized to your interests. Therefore, to support that job search, your tools must be flexible as well. We will look at resumes as a part of the strategic toolbox you will assemble for your job search. By the end of this book, you will understand how to organize your passions, experiences, and accomplishments into a strategic job search tool. The Job Seeker Manifesto series offers a step-by-step strategic approach to finding a job, including many tricks learned by observing thousands of candidates and through the author’s personal experience. Either start at the beginning or pick the topics that address your specific issue. Create your own strategic job search tools with the exercises in this book or go into more detail with the workbook associated with this book, Resumes 3.0: Resume-in-a-Box Workbook.
