“The Concise Resume and Cover Letter Guide,” a New eBook, Shows You How to Easily Write A Winning Resume and Cover Letter That Lands You Interviews

(PRWEB) June 1, 2005

The newly released eBook, “The Concise Resume and Cover Letter Guide,” is filled with proven insider techniques for creating resumes and cover letters that help jobseekers land interviews for the jobs they want. “As you know, your resume and cover letter are all employers have to evaluate you to determine whether to contact you for an interview. Jobseekers in today’s competitive marketplace need effective marketing materials to get their foot in the door of potential employers,” states author Ann Hackett, president and founder Quest Career Services, LLC, a provider of outplacement and resume writing services.

Although they recognize the importance of having an effective resume and cover letter, most jobseekers have no idea how to best present themselves to potential employers and often can’t afford to hire a professional resume writer to develop these materials for them. Some jobseekers are do-it-yourselfers who prefer to develop their own marketing materials after doing research on resume and cover letter development. “This Guide was developed with both of these types of jobseekers in mind. It provides concise, practical information on how to develop a winning resume and cover letter and includes samples to use as guides,” states Hackett.

“Jobseekers need a way to quickly come up to speed on the latest techniques for developing their job search marketing materials. They need focused, quality information rather than a data dump,” says Hackett. Instead of presenting hundreds of pages of information for a jobseeker to sort through, the Guide focuses on 60 pages of critical information needed by jobseekers to develop resumes, cover letters, reference lists, and thank-you letters. The Guide includes:

• Easy-to-follow Intake Profile Worksheets to help you gather your unique skills, experience and accomplishments
• How to develop content for each section of your resume, including the Objective, Professional Summary, Experience, Skills, and Education sections
• The unique structure of an IT resume as well as the unique information to include in IT resumes
• Proven techniques to help you incorporate relevant keywords in your resume, keywords used by employers to find "matching" resumes when performing searches using online career sites like Monster or their internal resume database
• Information to include in your resume and what information to leave out of your resume
• 15 tips for writing winning resumes
• 27-point Resume Evaluation Checklist to assess your resume and uncover areas for improvement
• Sample resumes, sample cover letters, sample reference lists, and sample thank-you letters
