Real-Resumes for Auto Industry Jobs
Editor Anne McKinney

Whether you want to stay in the auto industry or transition into another field, this book will help. It shows samples of resumes and cover letters that worked for real people. Newcomers to the field will learn how to show off their potential and skills, and experienced professionals will find help in advancing to the best technical, management, and sales positions in the industry. Auto industry professionals often change fields, too, and the book includes resumes of individuals who have successfully transitioned into other areas. A "bonus" of the book is that it also shows samples of paperwork involved in obtaining federal government positions; for example, the book includes samples of the KSAs as well as the "resumix" often required to apply for federal positions. "Distinguished by its highly readable samples." - Library Journal 1-885288-33-6 Price: $16.95 Enter quantity to cart
