Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Get the Interview Every Time is an informative and up-to-date resource for job seekers who are looking for solid direction from Fortune 500 executives — those directly responsible for hiring. Many corporations have regrouped in the last five years and downsizing has been the dreaded outcome for millions. In this tough business climate, job applicants are finding that just getting in the door for an interview poses an enormous challenge.

So what has happened on the other side of the desk—as employers review huge piles of prospective resumes? What catches their attention? What turns them off? Author Brenda Greene surveyed 50 Fortune 500 employers— including Continental Airlines, Gannett, Kellogg, Merck, Chubb, Georgia Pacific, TIAA-CREF, Fannie Mae and UPS—to find out. The book contains valuable insight into just what it takes to command attention and interest in a crowded field.

Packed with sample resumes and cover letters that represent what hiring managers, directors, and vice presidents want to see, Get the Interview Every Time shows and tells what is expected versus what is rejected.

Readers will learn how to:

· Research the company and its opportunities before sending any resumes.
· Distill all of their talent and experience into a few well-chosen words.
· Showcase their communication skills through a well-crafted cover letter.
· Avoid hype.
· Determine the resume style that looks and works the best.
