The first title, Basic Guide to Resume Writing and Job Interviews, is aimed toward business-oriented adults. Host Dave Dickerson outlines an eight-step process (of which only seven are shown) which boils down to three main areas: the resume, the job search, and the interview. Brief skits are used to illustrate various correct/incorrect methods and approaches. Surprisingly, after outlining the proper steps for creating a good resume, a visual example of the final product isn't shown (except in the workbook, which is not an integral part of the program, and must be purchased separately). And the program is almost ridiculously overproduced, with host Dickerson walking all over an office, and being shown from a different camera angle every 10 seconds or so. But, overall, the information is good, and there are numerous references to using the library during the job search section, as well as extensive advice on dressing for success. Directing Your Successful Job Search is targeted toward young adults who are just entering the job market. Lisa, a teenager, is told the basics of conducting a successful job search, including setting a realistic job goal, writing a good resume, utilizing networking, preparing for an interview, and following-up. The production isn't terribly spiffy, but the information is presented in a well-organized fashion, and the script is jam-packed with good suggestions for beginning job seekers. Your Resume: A Self Portrait is an in-depth dissection of the purpose, construction, and submission of a resume, with an accompanying cover letter. On-screen examples (as well as those in the included manual) give viewers a clear idea of exactly what goes into creating a good resume, and how the final piece of paper should look. All three titles are recommended for public libraries without similar material. The Basic Guide to Resume Writing and Job Interviews is available from: Advantage Video, P. O.
