A word of advice from Editor Anne McKinney: "If you want to enter the retail, modeling, fashion, or beauty business OR if you want to leave that industry and transition into other areas, you don't need just any resume book. You need an industry-specific resume book! You will love this specialized book. Every resume and cover letter we put in a Real-Resumes Series book has been tested and proven in the real job market. Don't play games with your career. Your choice of a resume book is one of the most important career decisions you will ever make." Praise for this book and other books in the Real-Resumes Series: "Distinguished by its highly readable samples." - Library Journal "These excellent new guides don't just provide the usual coverage on how to write a resume. They provide industry-specific examples, industry-specific tips and cautions, and industry-specific strategies based on real-world resumes. Since many technical types aren't writers, this comes as a special gift; select a winning format, plug in your background specs, and away you go. It's that easy--with Real-Resumes in hand."-- The Midwest Book Review "Part of an excellent real-resumes series. Impressive, with sophisticated, persuasive, and nuanced guidance." -The Book Reader Testimonials from people who have successfully used this book: "The resumes and cover letters in the Real-Resumes books are easy to personalize.
