Q. I am a recent college graduate looking for resume help.
A. Then you have come to the right web site. High-school-resume.com is a site devoted entirely to the resume writing needs of high school and college graduates.
Q. Why a web site for recent grads and not everybody?
A. Career Consultant Publications (CCP), the publisher of the e-book, Stop Making Dumb Mistakes on Your Resume! believes the job searching process is stressful enough without high school and college graduates having to visit innumerous web sites, digging through mountains of information, and trying to figure out what pertains to them--their unique situation. High-school-resume.com saves recent grads the trouble, the frustration, and the time by answering their questions and concerns.
Q. Are resume-writing tips different for recent graduates than for everybody else?
A. Yes. Resumes for professionals and six-figure earners use an entirely different resume layout, complete with Profile or Summary (of their career) sections. Hiring managers are not expecting recent high school or college grads to provide such sections on their resumes for the obvious reason--your career is just starting.
Q. Are professional resume writers worth the money?
A. For recent high-school or college graduates CCP feels it's a waste of good money. There are times in our lives when money is tight. If you learn how to do a resume the right way, now--in your youth, without the errors that frustrate hiring managers, you will be in a better position to decide, when you have reached professional status, whether you want to layout $500, $800, $1500 or more (and yes they can cost more) to hire a professional resume writer.
Q. I've looked through the archives and found a good deal on how effective thank-yous can be, but not much about the text of such letters themselves. So my question is: When do you do this, what do you write?
A. A "thank-you letter" is sent immediately after an interview-when you arrive home or the next day at the latest. In your free bonus Report No. 4 - Exploring the Interview and Follow-Up, that comes with Stop Making Dumb Mistakes on Your Resume!, we provide samples of "effective interview thank you letters". In addition, we cover how to write a "2nd interview follow up letter" as well. We even discuss the current debate that some hiring managers do not want to receive "thank you letters". So be sure to get your copy.
Q. Does your product provide a sample of entry level resumes? That's what I'm looking for.
A. Definitely. Our e-book and its four bonus reports comes with samples of entry level resumes and entry level cover letters, too. And that includes resume examples for high school graduates.
Q. Questions to ask in an interview?
A. It's important that you come to the interview with at least five or six questions pertaining to the position or industry as a whole. Warning: Do not ask questions that could be easily answered by browsing the company's web site; to do so is a strike against you. In your bonus Report No. 4 - Exploring the Interview and Follow-Up, we provide you with approximately 10 worthy questions to start the wheels in your head turning.
Q. How does one dress for an interview these days?
A. Again, bonus Report No. 4 - Exploring the Interview and Follow-Up, deals with this question extensively. We also include over 10 top interview distracters (dress blunders); among these: jewelry, rings, earrings, rings in your nose, neck ties, finger nails, fragrances, and the list goes on. Tip: Try to find out about dress codes when the assistant contacts you to set up the interview-simply ask her.
Q. What is meant by Interview etiquette?
A. Interview etiquette is simply the manners you would display from the moment you enter the prospective establishment (because many career experts believe this is where the interview actually begins--you will be noticed the moment you enter the premises), during the interview itself, and when you exit the building. For example, you do not want to walk into the company, with a mouth full of gum--chewing loudly--smacking your lips, sauntering over to the Guard's desk attempting to explain your purpose for coming. We cover issues like these, including: Covering your mouth while coughing and extending that same hand to greet your interviewer (handshaking); cell phones that ring during the interview; overwhelming fragrances; chewing and popping gum; offensive breath, and more. |
