Do you want the key to the best jobs with the best employers? It’s time to play offense instead of defense. Competency-Based Resumes shows today’s job candidates a new, more targeted way to write resumes to get them back on the same playing field with the best employers and improve their odds of winning the job they want. The system an employer uses when filling jobs has changed significantly in the past few years, and it is still evolving. Rather than simply looking at an applicant’s past jobs, companies are instead looking at candidate’s experiences in certain key areas-including measurable work habits and the personal skills, known as competencies, used to achieve objectives at work. Competency-Based Resumes offers you a new and effective way to create resumes that emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and abilities that you have and employers need. Many sophisticated U.S. and international organizations are using competency-based systems to recruit, interview, select, and promote. C

Finally, a book that really helped me write a good resume!,
I love this book because it gives before-and-after samples of real resumes. This book doesn’t just talk about how to write a successful resume. It shows how by giving specific examples.
There are resumes for many types of jobs. It’s easy to copy the parts that apply to my experience and there are many unique ideas. Writing a resume based on competencies – what I’m good at – makes sense. I’m in the over-50 group where competition for jobs is intense. When changing jobs over the years, I talked in interviews about things I’ve done well but didn’t describe them in my resume. Recently, I wasn’t getting interviewed. But after switching to a competency-based resume, I am now.
I was offered a high level government job using this technique. I didn’t accept it because it wasn’t what I wanted. Writing down what I’ve accomplished gave me the confidence to continue to look for a job that will be more fulfilling and give me more opportunities to help people.
This is a truly helpful book, written by people who obviously have extensive experience in helping people find jobs. I want to thank them for helping me.

|Career Development,
As a current Career Development instructor for a propriety school, I have been searching for a book that better describes the changing environment in the job hunting process of today. Competency Based Resumes gives a thorough overview of the current corporate hiring process and teaches the reader how competency based resumes are the best way to get the interview. I have used several books on how to write resumes in my Career Development classes but have recently started ordering this book for my students. This is the most up to date comprehensive text on writing resumes for the current economy. 5 Stars!
