Resume Books! Our resume books and tips teach you why the majority of resumes fail. This happens because up to 85% of all job seekers have had jobs and titles that are unrelated to the positions they want. These titles often damage the person's image and result in low interview rates and low salary offers. Mark, is a good example of this. Using this graph you can see how each of his past job titles make Mark's image drop significantly.

This results in job offers far beneath his salary goal. Mark will be much better off marketing his skills rather than his titles. Below, you'll see how using skill headings like Operations / Departmental Management to replace Assistant Store Manager elevate Mark's image and generate salary offers in the range he wants.  

... effective resume writing is critical in learning how to control the image you present in your resume and is the key in generating the maximum number of interviews and the salary you want. These strategies apply to all salary levels from $20,000 to the $100,000+ salary range. To read more about Mark's example click here!
