Preface

Employment is the subject of the first four papers. In “Writing Resumes and Cover Letters” you learn that the resume is an attention-getter — not to be taken lightly in the job hurting process. The second paper confirms many ideas presented in the first, but some traditional ideas are challenged (one such is that one-page résumés are inadequate). The third paper, “The Cover Letter,” encourages you to consider the communication´s style, tone, and appearance to enable you to write the best possible cover letter. The last paper on employment identifies questions you can expect at an interview and suggests how to emphasize your strengths and minimize your shortcomings.
