A word of advice from Editor Anne McKinney: "If you are a student trying to launch your career or get your first "real" job after graduation, you don't need just any resume book. You need a resume book specifically written for students You will love this book targeted specifically to the needs of students. 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: "Actual students' resumes and cover letters, targeting specific career fields and needs, are the primary content of this book, which serves well 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 experience and achievements. Student resumes can be difficult to write because they actually sell 'potential' rather than experience, according to McKinney." - Baton Rouge Magazine "Distinguished by its highly readable samples...essential for library collections." - 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 Testimonials from people who have successfully used this book: "I didn't know how to show my internships and tutoring experience until I saw the resumes in this book."
