Reseña del editor:

Yes, You CAN Get That JOB! is a unique easy-to-use resource to help students and new graduates find the most effective ways to communicate their value to prospective employers. From A (ability, accelerate, accurate, achieve, acquire) to W (weigh, widen, win, withdraw, withstand, work, write), this little book is designed to not only take the stress out of resume writing, but change the way one communicates about oneself.From the first cover letter to the final interview, Yes, You CAN Get That JOB! provides strategies and tips to enhance presentation skills and build self-confidence, helping new graduates bridge the connection between what they’ve accomplished in their own studies, internships and part-time or summer jobs and what the hiring manger is looking for.In today’s competitive job market fueled by rapidly increasing unemployment, job hunting is a challenge for everyone. But for new and recent college graduates looking to get off the couch and onto the payroll, the task is even more daunting. Now, career transition management consultant Joanne Meehl, aka The Resume Queen, has written a unique combination how-to manual and thesaurus to help the newly graduated become the newly employed.

Nota de la solapa:

Yes, You Can Get That Job! was written particularly for college students and recent graduates currently looking for a job in the most competitive arena in decades. There are many career guides in the bookstores and on-line. Until now, however, there have been none that combine the best aspects of a “how-to” manual and a thesaurus created specifically to help young adults successfully navigate the limbo between college and the new “real world.” It is full of practical suggestions to enhance the job seeker’s efforts more effectively during every stage of the process — from writing a resume to following up after an interview.This book will teach you to use words and resources a little bit differently than you did as a student. It will teach you to “sell” yourself more effectively than your competitors, and you will definitely have plenty of those. For example: “Responsible for. . . .” Do not use this phrase! That’s why you don’t see it here. It’s a phrase that’s passive and it doesn’t highlight your accomplishments. If you managed, or organized, or coordinated something, say so. If you were asked to do something, talk about how you were selected to do this, recruited to do it.Yes, You Can Get That Job! will help you bridge the connection between what you’ve accomplished in your own studies, internships and jobs, and the mind of the decision-maker who’s looking at your resume or the software that’s screening it.
