Anne McKinney (Editor)

Book Description

Series: Real-Resumes Series | Publication Date: February 2003

Whether the readers wants to stay in the auto industry or transition into another field, this book will help. It shows samples of resumes and cover letters that worked for real people. Newcomers to the field will learn how to show off their potential and skills to best advantage, and experienced professionals will find help in advancing to the best technical, management, and sales positions in the industry. Auto industry professionals often change fields, too, and the book includes resumes of individuals who have successfully transitioned into other areas. A "bonus" of the book is that it also shows samples of paperwork involved in obtaining federal government positions; for example, the book includes samples of the KSAs as well as the "resumix" often required to apply for federal positions.

This review is from: Real-Resumes for Auto Industry Jobs: Including Real Resumes Used to Change Careers and Resumes Used to Gain Federal Employment (Real-Resumes Series) (Paperback)

An excellent book for the job seeker who is in anyway affiliated with any number of mechanical, engineering or technical employment(s). As an employer it gave me keen insight what to look for in a resume and who, amongst the potential applicants, is genuinely qualified and honestly knowledgeable of the type of work he or she is applying for. The author did her homework. Very very good, a little dated for the 21st century but thats only because terminology constantly changes as everything evolves at the pace that it does. Still, it is an excellent book.
