Publisher's Synopsis
In my book, From Resume to Work, I share with you the 10 challenges to watch out for on your resume and how employers are now looking at each challenge as a potential landmine in your business character. These landmines give them another reason to pass on your resume. I then share a pet peeve of the most anal of employers called the dangling resume. From Resume to Work contains a wealth of input from my experiences going through over 7,000 resumes and hiring over 500 people. I also share insights from employment specialists in many different areas who want you to get it right and understand how best to connect with the employer. From Resume to Work shares five reasons why your resume gets rejected by the employer. Then it covers four areas that will help you answer the primary question on the employer's mind: "What are you doing now?" From there this book will walk you through the three steps of the #1 key to connecting with the employer.
