Fearless Résumés

create a résumé that pries open those closely guarded doors and
knocks them right down, allowing you to see and talk to the peo-
ple you need to know in order to get the job or career that you’ve
been striving so vigorously for.

A Brand New Approach to
Résumé Writing
If you’re at the bookstore, leafing through the many books on
résumés that are for sale, you’ll quickly see that Fearless Résumés
is different from the others.
This is not just an ordinary résumé book, with hundreds
of résumés for you to choose from and “customize” for your-
self. In fact, this book takes an utterly brand new and tested
approach to the often terrible task of crafting that all-important
treatment.
As I said before, Fearless Résumés is going to teach you a
carefully planned strategy, based upon what employers are
really looking for, that will carry you through your job search,
your interview, and finally to the offers you’ve been waiting
for.

• It doesn’t matter if writing a résumé or talking about
yourself in an interview has been difficult or frustrating
before.

You’re going to learn a new and totally natural way to penetrate
the employer’s emotions, persuade his intelligence, and present
yourself at your best. In the chapters that follow, you’ll discover
the secret of how employers, in fact, treat and look at your
document.
You’ll know the commonsense truth about what really moti-
vates them, and it will make all the difference in what you say to
them and how you say it in your Fearless Résumé.
In fact, it’s been proven time and time again that using the
secret you’re about to learn will make employers pick up and
pointedly concentrate on reading your Fearless Résumé at a
moment’s glance, while your competitors’ résumés are swirling in
the paper shredder.
