Fearless Résumés

The material in Chapters 5 and 6—identifying your skills,
building a skills arsenal, and crafting what I call Q statements—
will form the building blocks that make your résumé totally on
target, irresistible to your reader, and absolutely unique.
Chapter 7 will show you how to organize these essential
elements of your presentation into “blocks” of information;
the contact block, the objective block, the summary block, the
employment history block, the education and training block, and
some optional blocks that will make it easy for the employer to
see specific skills, awards, or achievements that make you right
for the job.
In Chapter 8, I’ll deliver the final ten tips that will eliminate
most of the errors that people tend to make on résumés.
Finally, in Chapter 9, using the building blocks you’ve mas-
tered in the first eight chapters, it will be your time to turn out
your first Fearless Résumé! Some sample résumés are given in
Chapter 10.
For now, I have faith in you and the absolute conviction that
you will triumph in your job search. You’ve got me on your side,
so let’s start right now.
