Job Hunting Assistance ... Online! ... Free!

Did you know that you can get resume and cover letter assistance online, for free? Western Mass. library-card holders can access "electronic books" via netLibrary.

I found 35 books about "resumes - employment" in netLibrary. They include

• The Resume Kit, by Richard H. Beatty (Wiley, c2000)


• High Impact resumes and Letters by Ronald Krannich (Impact Publications, c1998)


• 201 Winning Cover Letters For $100,000+ Jobs Cover Letters That Can Change Your Life!, by Wendy S. Enelow (Impact Publications, c1998)

And once you get an interview, take a look at The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Interview, by by Marc Dorio (Alpha Books, c2000)!
