PREP Publishing, 1996 - Business & Economics - 270 pages
More than 100 resumes and cover letters written by the world's oldest resume-writing company. Resumes shown helped real people not only change jobs but also transfer their skills and experience to other industries and fields. An indispensable tool in an era of downsizing when research shows that most of us have not one but three distinctly different careers in our working lifetime. Whether you are coming from or moving to the following types of work or industries, you will find helpful examples of resumes and cover letters to blow doors open: accounting and finance, city services, computer operations and MIS systems, construction, entrepreneurs, hospitality industry, industrial engineering, law enforcement, management, medical, technical, news reporting, interior design, social work, sports, teaching, transportation, trade associations, and many, many others.
