Publishers Description: The Professional Association of Resume Writers and McGraw-Hill author Jay Block have introduced a better way to write a resume. The old way - one weve been using the for past 80 years - is, very simply, to recite your employment history and education, perhaps with a few additional lines for your "career objective" and your "hobbies and interests." In this day and age of personal branding, the "old" approach is often dull and not particularly useful to prospective employers. The new way to write a resume takes its cue from marketing. It emphasizes your value - your unique selling proposition or "brand" - and the contribution you can make to your prospective employer. It serves to "package" your as a product, emphasizing your unique accomplishments and the contribution you can make to your new company or organization. This new approach is called the "value-based" resume, and its benefits are four-fold: It sets you apart from the pack. Employers sit up and take notice when you tell them right up front what kind of contribution you can make. Your resume goes to the top of the pile, and youre the first in line for the interview. You know what job you want and why its a good fit. The self-assessment process involved in creating a value-based resume uncovers your strengths and your value in the marketplace.
