Career Press
Resumes for the rest of us; secrets from the pros for job seekers with unconventional career paths.
Career consultant Boldt focuses writes here for people trying to fit their lives onto paper in ways that might convince a prospective employer of the merits of their far-flung or unconventional set of work experiences. He covers how to gather information, write objectives, research jobs, and strategize strengths, offering suggestions and sample resumes for parents returning to work, people with gaps in their work history, skilled tradesmen, technicians and factory workers, retirees, ex-offenders, recent immigrants, the self-employed, career changers, managers without college degrees, service-people transitioning from the military to civilian careers, and personal assistants and domestic workers. There is no bibliography. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
