Resumes are one of many tools required by job searchers. However, a resume is not necessarily the centerpiece of today's job search as it was in the past. Your job search is flexible; it is personalized to your interests. Therefore, to support that job search, your tools must be flexible as well. We will look at resumes as a part of the strategic toolbox you will assemble for your job search. By the end of this book, you will understand how to organize your passions, experiences and accomplishments into a strategic job search tool. The Job Seeker Manifesto series offers a step by step strategic approach to finding a job including many tricks we learned by observing thousands of candidates and through our own personal experience. This is the second book in a series digging deep into how to find a job, starting with 1) The Job Search Marketing Plan, creating a strategic marketing plan, 2) Resumes 3.0 to create the tools to display your talents, and 3) Tell Me About Yourself, to strategically decide how you will describe yourself. Either start at the beginning or pick the topic or two that address your specific issue. Create your own strategic job search tools with the exercises in this book or go into more detail with the workbook associated with this book, Resumes 3.0: Resume-in-a-Box Workbook.
