In a competitive job market, how do you get your resume to stand out among hundreds of others? How do you make a connection with the nameless, faceless people who have the power to hire? Once you get your foot in the door with an interview, how do you secure your foothold and get the offer?

Author Brenda Greene surveyed 60+ Fortune 500 hiring managers and human resource executives to get you the answers—and the interview. Packed with sample resumes and cover letters that represent what hiring managers, directors, and vice presidents want to see, Get the Interview Every Time provides job seekers with the confidence to know they can create a message that stands out—and get the interview.

Fully updated and expanded with advice on how to get the interview and then what to do in the interview process—Get the Interview Every Time breaks down the monumental task of landing an interview into a series of manageable steps, easy to understand and inspiring to follow. Designed to transform confused, disheartened job applicants into savvy, prospective employees, Get the Interview Every Time shows how to ""open the gates"" through sensible, targeted self-marketing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book for Job Hunting, July 13, 2009
This review is from: Get the Interview Every Time: Proven Resume and Cover Letter Strategies from Fortune 500 Hiring Professionals (Paperback)
Though there are many books written on this subject, this one was clearly the best I have read. It is clear, precise, and organized in a way that gets right down to business (no pun intended). In fact, I have just graduated from business school with several job prospects thanks to the good advice in this book. It will always stay on my shelf as a great reference source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Interview every time, January 14, 2009
This review is from: Get the Interview Every Time: Proven Resume and Cover Letter Strategies from Fortune 500 Hiring Professionals (Paperback)
This book covers what hiring managers want and expect from job applicants and shows how to brush up on resume writing. It also helps prepare for the interview process and includes plenty of sample resumes. In the current economic environment, I expect it will become the bible for many job seekers.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Working, January 11, 2009

This review is from: Get the Interview Every Time: Proven Resume and Cover Letter Strategies from Fortune 500 Hiring Professionals (Paperback)
I used this book to help me revamp my resume. It's a tough job market, and I'm still looking for the right job for me, but I am getting interviews and I've been told that my resume is well done. I basically followed the sample resumes in Get the Interview Every Time to re-do my own resume and I've been getting good results.
