As a Master Resume Writer of 15,000 resumes (many, many accounting resumes from Accounting Clerks all the way to CPAs & CFOs!) and author of 13 resume books I created the Accounting Resumes and Cover Letter book with Adults retraining in Accounting ... many with prior experience in accounting or other fields.  All examples in the Accounting book teach you how to create resumes, cover letters, thank you letters, and powerful keyword scannable / plain text / ASCII  resumes--all tightly focused to market your Accounting skills and experience.  Pictures say more than a thousand words ... so let's review one set of before and after resume samples from the Accounting  book ... but BEWARE -- haphazardly copying resumes, or sections of resumes that sound good, or using FREE RESUME WRITING GUIDES written by those WITHOUT MASTER RESUME writing experience won't achieve the level reported in my client testimonials reporting salary increasing ranging from $2K to $50K or more annually!
MERELY COPYING OR TRYING TO MIMIC ANOTHER RESUME YOU WON'T ACHIEVE SALARY INCREASES LIKE THOSE REPORTED ABOVE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT TAUGHT & DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO:

1.  CORRECTLY IDENTIFY & MARKET YOUR SKILLS
2.  ANALYZE JOB ADS to identify top skills employers need 
3.  PROVE HOW YOUR SKILLS solve those needs
4.  REPLACE  WEAK TITLES with skills that match the job 
5.  WRITE POWERFUL CONTENT to quantify achievements  
6.  USE DESIGN THAT DIRECTS attention & sells in seconds
7.  GRAPH RESUME TITLES & SKILLS to determine if they make your image go up, down or match the image of the job you want!

The Accounting book teaches you the first 6 of the 7 steps above and my 350-page, Proven Resumes Strategies That Have Increased Salaries book teaches you, the most critical 7th step!
