Book Does What It Says It Will
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book gives very basic and practical examples of how to write a resume if you have challenges or "barriers" such as no formal job experience, substance abuse or a criminal record in your past. I highly recommend it for welfare-to-work populations and prison-to-work populations, if these persons have little or no knowledge of how to market themselves on paper to get a job. The reading level and "white space" on the pages also makes it relevant for those with lower literacy skills. I found if very useful for the target audience the authors intended ("those who have little or no work experience, have just been released from prison, or were formerly on public assistance"). The book will not be useful to anyone who does not fit the target audience; it is much too basic and targeted to novice job seekers. But it is a breath of fresh air for those who need it and for the human service providers/educators who may be trying to help them get a resume ready for a job interview.
