About this title

From the Author

A TRULY DIFFERENT RESUME BOOK!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Pat Criscito is a Certified Professional Resume Writer with more than twenty-five years of experience and resume clients in more than 42 different countries. Pat is the author of Barron's "Designing the Perfect Resume" (a comprehensive idea book for designing your paper resume) and "Resumes in Cyberspace" (available in bookstores in March). She is also a guest journalist for newspapers and magazines nationwide. As the president and founder of ProType, Ltd., in Colorado Springs, she writes more than a thousand resumes a year and speaks nationally on the subject, appearing regularly at universities and on television and radio.

ABOUT THE BOOK: You will find many "how to" books on how to write a resume, but there are few books on how to design them. Designing the Perfect Resume gives you hundreds of ideas for how to make your resume unique, but it is not limited only to design.

Each chapter discusses the elements of a "perfect resume", including what it should say:

Chapter 1: The Perfect Resume?
Chapter 2: Action Verbs
Chapter 3: Stand-out Names
Chapter 4: Address Positions
Chapter 5: Headings to Define Your Sections
Chapter 6: Those Difficult Dates
Chapter 7: Geographic Location
Chapter 8: Paragraph Style
Chapter 9: Functional Versus Chronological
Chapter 10: Personal Information and References
Chapter 11: Fonts and Bullets
Chapter 12: Graphic Lines
Chapter 13: Graphic Design Elements
Chapter 14: Creative Resumes
Chapter 15: Long Resumes and Curriculum Vitae
Chapter 16: When is 11x17 Paper Appropriate
Chapter 17: Foreign Languages
Chapter 18: Letterheads, Cover Letters, and Paper Colors
Chapter 19: Index of Job Titles

The thirteen-page index at the back of the book lists every job that every resume in the book mentions--something no other resume book on the market today contains. How many times have you wished for a line or two to describe something you did in a job long ago or even just yesterday? This comprehensive index will help you to locate job titles which match your experience. Since all of the resumes in this book have been used by real people to get real jobs, you can also get an idea of your competition.

Use your computer to create the perfect resume. Every resume in this book was created using WordPerfect software (and there are more than 260 complete resumes in the 304 pages), so they can easily be created with any major word processing package. But, "Designing the Perfect Resume" is not just for computer users. What if you simply need ideas? You can take this book to your resume professional or typesetter and say, "I want my resume to look just like this!" If you are one of those resume professionals, typesetters, or secretarial services, this book is also for you.

A truly one-of-a-kind book!
