Using the right phrase at the right moment can make all the difference! It can generate real interest in you, provoke more questions, and show an interviewer that you are the right person for the job. The same applies to written communications such as letters or emails and to voice mail messages. Like learning a foreign language, these phrases, when practiced carefully and used properly, become natural and powerful techniques by which to express ones self.The advice, materials and phrases in Beyond the Resume arm you with appropriate actions to take and phrases to use. It is not the intent of the book to "prop you up" to sound like something you are not. Instead, it is to help you speak to your strengths, experiences, and job know-how. The book is a "soup to nuts" kind of book and takes you from the point of initial contact with the hiring authority, through interviewing, and on to closing the deal.Beyond the Resume offers advice on all phases of a job search, including:Developing a resume; Writing letters; Networking; Cold-calling companies and recruiters; Leaving voice mail; Managing the interview; Responding to trick and non-relevant questions; And post interview correspondenceYou will be armed with powerful and provoking phrases which catch the listener''s or reader''s interest and enable you to follow up with meaningful information, rather than just being glib or using buzz-words.Each chapter covers a different scenario or set of circumstances in which using the right phrases will pay off for you. Rational will be discussed, dos and don''ts highlighted, and advice given on how to construct and use the phrases.
