This book shows actual resumes and cover
letters that helped students launch a career after graduation from college,
technical or professional school, or graduate school. Real-Resumes
for Students is based on the philosophy that students have particular
problems when they approach resume preparation and job hunting. Students
are usually seeking thier first professional postition and they must
figure out how to present in a meaningful fashion work experience such
as "waitress," "tutor," "intern," "student
teacher," "volunteer," "residence hall counselor,"
and "sorority president." The Table of Contents is designed
to present actual resumes of real individuals with varying degrees ranging
from accounting and computer programming, to sports administration and
veterinary technology. The theory behind the book is that "a picture
is worth a thousand words," and all resumes and cover letters shown
in the book have been handpicked. There are numerous resumes which illustrate
how to show clinical rotations and internships on a resume, and the
editor also gives insight into how to use volunteer work, work-study
experience, and achievements to maximum advantage. Real-Resumes Series
editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that "student resumes"
are the most creative (and the most difficult to write) because they
must sell "potential" rather than experience.
"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 roatations on a resume, as well as volunteer experience
and achievements. Student resumes can be difficult to write because
they usually sell 'potential' rather than experience, according to McKinney."
