A collection of professionally written resumes aimed at anyone who has left work for a period of time and then wanted to return. This situation requires a particularly unique approach on the resume and presents a challenge for so many job seekers returning to work. In addition to nearly 200 pages of sample resumes, the authors present sound resume writing advice, including how to create and use an electronic resume. The appendix includes Internet resources for an effective online job search. New for the second edition is a chapter on writing cover letters, as well as a collection of sample letters.
