Real-Resumes for Students

Reviews and Excerpts
The resumes of students are really different! Who else has job titles like Tutor, Camp Counselor, Lifeguard, Residence Hall Counselor, Intern, Student Teacher, Waitress, Sorority President, and Volunteer? How do you show clinical rotations and unpaid work experience on a resume? How can you use your achievements in high school to maximum advantage? How do you write an "all-purpose" resume and cover letter if you don't know what you want to do after graduation? The best way to ensure a distinguished career is to start out your career with the best "first job" after graduation. Actual students' resumes and cover letters, targeting specific career fields and needs, are the primary content of this book, which serves as a guide to students seeking professional employment after graduation. The book illustrates how to highlight internships and clinical rotations on a resume, as well as volunteer work and achievements. Students resumes can be difficult to write because they usually sell "potential" rather than experience. "Distinguished by its highly readable samples...essential for library collections." - Library Journal
