Explains how college students and graduates of all ages and careers can: (1) transform even modest educational achievements and non-paying life experiences (such as hobbies, travel, computer skills, family circumstances, and extracurricular activities) into interview-getting statements about job-transferable Skills, Knowledge, and Traits ("SKiTs"), (2) generate job interviews by professionally fine-tuning resumes and cover letters specifically for each job application, (3) prepare successfully for interviews by writing such persuasive resumes and cover letters. Special features: an in-depth index, before-and-after samples of rewritten resumes and cover letters, a flow chart, "Dr. Q's Tips" based on actual student and alumni experiences, "Expert Advice" quotations from dozens of professional publications not on the Internet, a category-related list of "action verbs" that appeal to potential employers, and sample resumes with accompanying cover letters. Based on solid research and professional reports from dozens of career fields, this engaging book is filled with personal stories and practical insights not available elsewhere. Endorsed by hundreds of educators and career development experts. Foreword by Richard N. Bolles, author of the best-selling "What Color Is Your Parachute?" series of books for job-hunters and career-changers.
