"Don't Send A Resume" written by Jeffery J. Fox is a unique way of looking for a new job! It makes a lot of sense. Forget most everything you've ever heard about looking for a job. Jeffery's book, "Don't Send A Resume" has some really different ideas about how to carry out the whole business of researching, applying, interviewing and being rejected...I mean receiving the new job you've always wanted! (Never mind that whatever job you thought you were getting is usually a whole lot different when you get settled into the everyday routine!)

 Interviews: My feelings are that interviews are a nerve wracking opportunity to humiliate yourself in so many ways! Interviews--UGH! These are silly meetings where some person from the Personnel or Human Resources department asks a bunch of questions and you make up the answers you think they'd most like to hear.

Just in case you might go to the library and check out this book: Here are few of the enticing chapter headlines from the book "Don't Send A Resume"
1. Why resumes don't sell
2. Skip the personnel department
3. You are a box of cereal (My favorite Chapter!)
4. Look where they ain't
5. Be a fish out of water
6. Don't play resume roulette
7. No one cares about your job objective
8. Don't talk in an interview
9. Make them feel good
10. Never panic
11. Don't ask for directions
