Many great job candidates have poor resumes that are merely a laundry list of job tasks that do little to distinguish them from their competition. The average recruiter or hiring manager spends less than 15 seconds reviewing a resume. Most people's resumes fail to "wow" the reader and quickly end up in the "no" pile. 
 Writing a resume can feel like an overwhelming task. It can seem like a Herculean effort to consolidate so much important information about a career into a one or two page document. But it doesn't have to be that way! In 'Happy About My Resume', Barbara Safani offers 50 tips for creating compelling copy and presenting it in a powerful way to grab the hiring authority's attention and get them to pick up the phone to call you in for an interview. Safani provides practical and easy-to-follow advice as well as numerous samples that show each of her tips in action. 
 The book will help readers learn how to quickly create a resume that is professional, gets them noticed, minimizes the amount of time they spend in a job search, and maximizes their earning power. The book is for anyone who wants to proactively manage their career and improve the quality of their current resume or create a resume from scratch.

A job search is never easy and a struggling economy only makes it harder. Everybody knows she or he needs to be smarter, faster and better in finding a job, but how? After all, a job search is synonymous with plenty of hard work and also plenty of rejection. Now, career transition expert Barbara Safani comes to every job seeker's rescue by addressing this pressing issue in a way that makes complete sense in today's economy.  In 'Happy About My Job Search', Barbara offers a candid perspective of what a job search is, and isn't. She offers plenty of practical hints for building better resumes and writing compelling cover letters. From her own experience, she freely shares an understanding of how to network during a job search, prepare strategies for interviews and negotiate a competitive compensation package.  As Barbara has noticed repeatedly, most of what occupies people in their job searches is really no more than busy work or wheel spinning. Job seekers often post endlessly on dead-end or random job boards, attend local career fairs whether or not they are useful, or simply hand out resumes to someone who promises to 'see what they can do'--but these search methods rarely yield fruitful outcomes.  With expert insight and perspective, Barbara reveals the way to be well informed and better prepared for the journey ahead. And surprisingly, she shows that it's possible to even find some fun, joy, and happiness during your job search. With articulate grace, Barbara shows you how to enjoy and see success even in the most trying job search situation.
