Personal Statements. Resumes. CV. (Honest assessment)

A Resume is a document that contains a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment. Often the Resume is the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance often is ascribed to it. This is no big secret.

What many prospective job seekers fail to realize is that a general Resume isn??t going to capture the attention of the hiring manager. The key factor in being recognized for a particular job opportunity is specializing. Today??s job opportunities are designed for a specific skill set.

Many job seekers, in an effort to save some money, undermine their efforts by writing their own Resumes. I??m telling you: you simply can??t be objective when writing your own Resume. Remember the old saying: ??A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.?? Keep that in mind. You shouldn??t write your own Resume.

Acing the College Application: How to Maximize Your Chances for Admission to the College of Your Choice

With so many qualified applicants, competition for college admissions is fiercer than ever. Now you can put yourself ahead of the pack by making your application flawless!

When applying for college, good grades and high standardized test scores are not always enough to guarantee admission. What sets you apart, argues Michele Hernández, is the way you describe yourself in your application. But how do you present yourself with flair, and highlight all your talents, skills, and passions, in just a few pages?

A former assistant director of admissions at Dartmouth College, Dr. Hernández takes you step-by-step through the entire application process, revealing the details that make or break an applicant. From the multitude of short and longer essays to the myriad of charts, lists, and personal data sections, she offers essential advice, useful anecdotes, and vivid examples. Included are:

• A line-by-line look at the common application
• The truth about the essays, with samples of those that made the grade
• The best way to ask for teacher and guidance counselor recommendations
• When to provide colleges with optional essays and peer evaluations
• The ten common myths and misconceptions of the on-campus interview
• The most meaningful academic subjects, work experience, and extracurricular activities to mention
• Early action versus early decision—the trade offs

With this helpful, savvy book, prospective college students—and their parents and counselors—can now vastly improve their chances of getting into the college of their choice.

“Want to scale the Ivy wall? Michele Hernández gives you the tools to do it. This brisk, no-nonsense book is built on inside dope, and Hernández’s experience allows her to challenge conventional admissions thinking.”
