At last, a guide to résumé writing whose every page is as quickly scannable as they say a good résumé should be. In 72 brightly designed pages, this pocket-size career helper walks you through the entire résumé writing (or rewriting!) process, from determining your overall career objectives and strategy and targeting your résumé to specific fields or employers to drafting and refining your résumé's content, selling your experience, deciding on the overall format and look, and adapting your résumé for a career change, a midcareer job move, or a return to the job market after an absence. Throughout, loads of résumé samples, examples, checklists, and flow charts help you piece it all together, including tips on replying to job advertisements, canvassing employers, using the Internet, keeping up your job search, and analyzing your own career profile.

It's worth mentioning that the book is also part of reference publisher Dorling Kindersley's Essential Managers series--20 itty-bitty li'l books on business and career topics ranging from communication, leadership, and decision making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the For Dummies book series's talent for breaking down a lot of information into bite-size bits and sidebars with Dorling Kindersley's signature design style of crisp, classy graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, they don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking and they don't necessarily reflect any unique individual perspective. Instead, it's as though someone collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages, studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand on the last few pages of each volume. Again, they're not for anyone looking for more in-depth or focused help on any of the subjects they cover, but they're perfect as a quickie general-interest reference... and let's face it, they're so cute and look so smart in a neat little stack or row that you'll probably want to buy a whole bunch to give to your entire staff or department. --Timothy Murphy

Concise And Practical Resume Advice.......2006-02-02

The DK "Essential Managers" series is a great value in the world of business publications. They are all very goal oriented and full of practical, real-world advice that is universally applicable.

In this volume Simon Howard (Robert Heller is often incorrectly credited with authorship) details the basics of resume writing and job search skills. The advice is generally excellent and is concisely delivered with separate chapters focusing on important resume writing skills such as format (mainly chronological versus functional), dealing with employment agencies, formulating cover letters, presentation of education and experience, etc. In the final few pages he provides samples of resumes of differing focus for diverse situations such as first time job seeker, returning to work, career changers, etc.

This is not a book of numerous differing sample resumes to be used as templates, rather, it is a quick reference guide to the basics of resume writing and job searches. The book is not exhaustive, but is not meant to be: it is compact, practical, and easy to use. I recommend this book, especially to people just beginning to formulate their resume.

Book Description

Astronomers have long noted that the Earth does not rotate uniformly about an axis fixed in the planet, that both the length-of-day and the direction of the rotation axis vary periodically and irregularly by small amounts. These variations are an immediate consequence of the Earth not being a rigid body. In this book Professor Lambeck discusses the irregular nature of this motion and the geophysical mechanisms responsible for it. A complete analysis of these causes requires a discussion of solid Earth physics, magnetohydrodynamics, oceanography and meteorology. The study of the Earth’s rotation is therefore of interest not only to astronomers who wish to explain their observations, but also to many geophysicists who use the astronomers’ observations to understand better the Earth’s response to a variety of applied forces. The author emphasizes the important contributions made over the last 15 years, this progress being in part a consequence of the overall progress in geophysics and planetary physics and of the developments in space science and technology, which not only require that the Earth’s motion be precisely known but which also have provided new and precise methods for monitoring this motion. This book is suitable for geophysicists, astronomers and geodesists who are actively engaged in research as well as for graduate students.

Book Description

An up-to-date, comprehensive yet compact source of biochemical and molecular biological data containing more than 4,500 entries and over 1,000 figures, formulas and tables. The ideal reference book for the researcher, teacher and student. In the third edition existing entries have been revised and where necessary, entirely re-written. Many new entries on Molecular and Cell Biology have been included. Advances in our knowledge of metabolic pathways have not been ignored. There are also new entries on methods for the determination of macromolecular structure and conformation. Several topics have been reorganized, and certain subjects previously grouped together have now been separated anbd accorded more extensive treatment as separate entries.

Soccer continues to grow in popularity in the United States, with another huge surge thanks to the U.S. Women's Team winning the World Cup in 1999. But players can only be as good as their coaches, and coaches are always looking for help. Soccer: How to Play the Game contains detailed information on necessary skills, from basics like dribbling the ball and throw-ins to advanced skills like sliding tackles and goalkeeping. Each is presented separately, with photographs and drawings of a player executing the skill, advice on how to perform it and when to use it, and most common mistakes. Over 100 practice games, coded for different player ages and levels of instruction, are also outlined to help players develop their technique. Throughout the book, the authors stress the need to create a positive environment in practice and encourage creativity as well as technical correctness. Most importantly, the authors understand that kids are not just small adults--and they back up their understanding with advice on how to help kids fall in love with "the beautiful game." Published under the auspices of the United States Soccer Federation, Soccer: How to Play the Game will inspire coaches and players alike. --Sunny Delaney

Coaching Book.......2007-05-13

GREAT book. I love it. Very helpful, even during the middle of practice, I can run over and look up something the team needs to work on.

A good book!.......2004-05-08

How to play soccer is a good book. It teaches most of basic techniques separately, like dribling, heading goalkeeping. But it does not teaches exercises to achieve strength, speed and agility. It is good for coaches who want to train their team to better football. It may not be as good for players who are learning individually.

WATCH OUT!.......2003-01-23

There are many errors of technique taught here (for example, goalie hand positions). Not a good book.

It's nice but..........2003-01-03

If you're looking for a coaching book, this is very good, but there are better. For instance - any title by Joe Luxbacher.

Could be a good deal better.......2001-11-02

A tip of the hat to the coaches and officials who tried to put into one volume a basic overview of the game, its rules, tactics, and suggested drills. This large-format paperback, on heavy stock with very clear reproduction, is a quality product. However-- it doesn't work very well. The organization of the material is clumsy and the chosen method of presenting diagrams and figures was conceived by an art director with immortality in mind, and maybe he will be plaing chess with Beethoven in heaven but here on earth I can't bloody stand looking at the frozen plasticized figurines used to illustrate basic soccer technique and positions. Apparently the current thinking in book design is to dispense with headlines and subheads, so as to cause readers to wander aimlessly through the pages looking for "Rule 7" or "How to play center mid". I have had the book six months, read it cover to cover, and subsequently consulted it two dozen times and I am here to say, alas, it achieves approximately 44 percent of its potential, which is far short of enough. Yet what is the alternative? The goal: a primer for Norteamericano parents who never played soccer and want to help teach their kids, walk the walk, talk the talk, and --look out--someday be able to fullfil the role of linesman without having bananas thrown at them. If there is a better book out there, somebody please list it in a review. Meantime, this one is not a disaster, but don;t get your hopes up.

From the supplier: Mona Van Duyn has been chosen as America's first female poet laureate, leading to speculation on what criteria she fulfills. While she has won awards, her poetry concerns relationships in a way that is not threatening to men. She writes of recollections in tranguility, with clear language in her best poems. She is witty while not demanding of authority, and she should fit in with the vast institutions of male power.
