Jeffrey J. Fox
How to Land Your Dream Job
No Resume! And Other Secrets to Get You In the Door
Hyperion, 2007
¿De qué se trata?
It's not how great you are — it's how well you are packaged.
Recommendation
For a book that tells you not to send a resume, the author spends an awful lot of time telling the reader how to write resumes (or "resu-letters") and what to do with them next. Don’t be fooled by the clever title. Jeffrey J. Fox hasn’t banned resumes, he simply wants you to understand how to write versions that will work for you. He explains what to do - and not do - to land a terrific job. In bite-sized chapters that get right to the point (in a book so small you could fit it into a leprechaun’s briefcase), he guides you through job-hunting research, planning and marketing the product of you. Some of what he offers is innovative; some is standard, common-business sense. Even if you only dig out a few gems, getAbstract notes that this is a fine place to begin your job search - and a very fine place for job search beginners.
