Ask people who have worked in a nonprofit organization about resume preparation and they will tell you that resumes and cover letters for their particular needs are highly specialized! That’s why this book will be of enormous value to those who seek employment in the nonprofit world – or who want to transition out of the nonprofit world and want to present their experience in nonprofit environments. The book includes resumes for folks who have worked in national trade associations and in nonprofit environments such as the United Way, Salvation Army, the American Cancer Society, and many similar organizations. A special section on the federal hiring process also shows the reader how to apply for federal government employment and there are samples of the specialized resumes and applications used in the federal hiring process. So whether you are entering the nonprofit arena, transferring skills out of the nonprofit world, or seeking federal employment, you will find this book useful.

This review is from: Real Resumes for Jobs in Nonprofit Organizations: Including Real Resumes Used to Change Careers and Gain Federal Employment (Real-Resumes Series) (Paperback)
I ordered this book hoping to see several examples of effective resume styles. I was sorely disappointed when I finally received the book and noticed every example is basically the same format with different content. I seriously doubt that these are "real resumes" of different people because there is way too much uniformity between the examples. Don't waste your money on this one. The No Nonsense Resume series offers a wider array of effective examples.
