Real-Resumes for Engineering Jobs
Editor Anne McKinney

Civil engineers, mechanical engineers, structural engineers, marine engineers, chemical engineers, systems engineers, and engineering support personnel have a lot in common when they want to create a resume, and this book shows resumes and cover letters of individuals who want to work in the field. For those who seek federal employment, there's a special section showing how to create federal resumes and government applications.
"Since many technical types aren't writers, this comes as a special gift: select a winning format, plug in your background specs, and away you go. It's that easy--with REAL RESUMES in hand." - The Midwest Book Review
