PERSONALIZE EVERY RESUME AND COVER
LETTER YOU WRITE
Find
a resume and cover letter template in Real Resumes for Administrative Support, Office & Secretarial Jobs (sold
at Amazon) .
The book has about 162 pages of just resume
and cover letter examples for administrative support, office and secretarial
jobs. It'll be hard narrowing your choices to pick just a single resume and
cover letter example from the book to use. The
reason: No one resume fits everyone.
Therefore, if you use this book, don't copy the examples word for word.
Instead use them to give you direction about how to format and phrase items on your
resume and in your cover letter. Be original but use the cover letter and
resume samples in the book
to help you brainstorm what to write in general. You won't find a more
specialized book for administrative professionals on the topics of administrative assistant resume example and administrative
assistant cover letter example. But don't stop with simply preparing your
resume...

IMPORTANT: LEARN WHY YOUR RESUME WON'T GET YOU THE
JOB
...According to a story by the associated press, the
nation’s unemployment rate jumped to 5.5 percent in May — the biggest
monthly rise since 1986. What does this mean to you? It means job interviews
are more competitive than ever among candidates applying for those jobs. You
cannot just write a great resume and cover letter and then expect to get the job
based on it. A good resume is simply your ticket into a job interview. It's
your invitation to the interview session. That's all it is.
Nobody will hire
you based on only what's written on your resume or in your cover letter.
The competition for getting a job gets harder after
sending out your resume and in the interview stage. That is because only ONE person
interviewing will get the job. I can't stress those two words enough: One
person. So you must prepare for the interview to be that one person.
Prepare now before you even have an interview; don't do a cram session the
night before an interview. This is not like
taking a test in high school; this is
about your livelihood -- something much more important.
Go into a job interview unprepared with
the motto that you'll just wing it and be yourself and if they like you,
they like you and if they don't, they don't (story continues at top of

and then guess what: They might like you
or not, but you won't be that one person who gets the job. The one who
presents himself or herself as the best fit for the job through preparation
will beat you to the job offer every time. It's not about what's on your
resume or what you know that you know in regard to experience. Once your
resume finishes its job of getting you a ticket into an interview, it's then
all about what happens in the interview that determines the outcome of
whether or not you get the job.
Here is a book that can help you prepare for the
interview and it's available instantly for you to read (because it's a downloadable eBook).
