Alternative Resumes: Definitely Not Your Parents' Resume Book is very different than any other job search resource on the market. It includes ALL teens and young adults, not just university graduates. Whether you're a tween creating your first resume for school, or a twenty-something with a few years of "career" experience, this book is for you. Many career educators have also praised the central concepts as being beneficial for all ages and experience levels.

This unique book lives up to its name. Picking up where normal resume books leave off, Alternative Resumes argues against the sole use of conventional formats and instead offers hundreds of new ideas to make your resume stand out from the competition. Job searching is a marketing function, and resumes are a marketing tool.
"This book is like a breath of fresh air!"
