A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Students shows actual resumes and cover
letters that helped students launch a career after graduation from college,
technical or professional school, or graduate school. Real-Resumes for
Students is based on the philosophy that students have particular problems
when they approach resume preparation and job hunting. Students are usually
seeking their first professional position and they must figure out how to
present in a meaningful fashion work experience such as waitress, tutor,
intern, student teacher, volunteer, residence hall counselor, and sorority
president. The Table of Contents is designed to present actual resumes of
real individuals with varying degrees ranging from accounting and computer
programming, to sports administration and veterinary technology. The theory
behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words, and all resumes
and cover letters shown in the book have been handpicked. There are numerous
resumes which illustrate how to show clinical rotations and internships on
a resume, and the editor also gives insight into how to use volunteer work
and achievements to maximum advantage. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne
McKinney believes strongly that student resumes are the most creative (and
the most difficult to write) because they must sell potential rather than
experience.

All resumes in the book are one page in length, and all resumes are
accompanied by a companion cover letter. The book begins with a brief
section explaining the most effective job-hunting approachthe direct
approach. This unique how-to book does not simply tell how to write an
effective career-change resume and cover letter; it shows how in page
after page of meaty examples.
