Why write a great resume? A resume is an advertisement, nothing more, nothing less. The resume is a tool with one specific purpose: to win an interview. If it does that, you wrote a good resume, it worked. If it doesn't, it wasn't an effective resume.
A resume is a brief summary of your abilities, education, esperience and skills. A great resume doesn't just tell them what you have done but makes the same assertion that all good ads do. And that is simply, if you buy this product, you will get these specific, direct benefits. A good resume presents you in the best light. It convinces the employer that you have what it takes to be successful in this new position or career. It is so capitvating to the reader that the reader is enticed to pick up and read it. It "whets the appetite," stimulates interest in meeting you and learning more about you. It inspires the prospective employer to pick up the phone and ask you to come in for an interview.
The basic job of a good cover letter is to entice the reader to find out more about you in your resume.
These books were chosen because they teach how-to create great resumes and cover letters by providing step-by-step detailed instructions for mastering the task. They are concise, clearly written and include plenty of good examples.
