TRASHPROOF RESUMES (THE PRINCETON REVIEW HAFT, TIMOTHY 1995 15223 From School Library Journal: A practical, eye-catching resource. Haft takes readers step by step through a self-assessment, and thoroughly discusses the drafting of a resume: format, language, writing style, length, design, presentation, cover letter, etc. Many samples of actual resumes are included. Short tips are highlighted in gray boxed insets. Particularly helpful are the tips on downplaying one's weaknesses, although the author stresses telling the truth. Cartoons at the beginning of each chapter and a slightly humorous tone keep readers' interest. Although designed to be read in its entirety, the logical approach, chapter headings, and numerous subdivisions provide avenues for those wishing to read only portions of the text. The sections on interning, volunteering, and hi-tech resumes show that the data is contemporary. Strictly speaking, this is a workbook, but there are really so very few pages with fill-in-the-blank lines that librarians who discount the book for that reason will miss providing an excellent tool for their patrons. . Book Description areer development specialist Timothy Haft surveyed hundreds of employment professionals to find out what they look for in a resume. Haft shows how young job hunters can use his findings for greater success. Random House Information Group 0-679-75911-5 / 9780679759119 Soft Cover Very Good New York Price:
