Book Description
A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Teachers shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped real teachers, counselors, and administrators find new jobs and advance in their field. By tradition, teaching professionals use either a one-page resume or a lengthier curriculum vitae (CV) when they seek new positions or advance in their field, and this book provides insight into the most effective formats for the popular one-page resume as well as the lengthier CV. Real-Resumes for Teachers is designed to show the most effective formats which can be used by professionals in the teaching field to present their credentials and qualifications. The Table of Contents is designed to show individuals in varying roles in the teaching and education field. Resumes and CVs are shown of administrators, assistant principals, teachers in child care and social services environments, college teachers and professors, counselors and librarians, elementary school teachers, high school te! achers, as well as military science and ROTC instructors. There are resumes of teachers embarking on a second career in teaching, and there is even a section focusing on teachers changing careers from teaching to a new field. Since all resumes and cover letters were used by actual people in real job campaigns, each resume and its companion cover letter shown is a picture of a successful job hunt, and the theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney has handpicked these resumes and cover letters based on her 20 years of experience in working with teachers. Other titles in the series being released in the year 2000 are: Real-Resumes for Career Changers, Real-Resumes for Students, Real-Resumes for Sales, and Real Essays for College & Grad School.

Honestly - this is the #2 source for you. .......2007-04-27
This book has some great advice in it along with some excellent cover letters. The resumes are very professional in appearance, but the layouts really aren't that interesting. This is definitely an excellent second source to have on your shelf! You should only need two books on resumes (this one and the one I've listed below) to get the job you're looking for.
Let me tell you, I have just read through four resume books specifically aimed at teachers (this book, the one listed below, Resumes and Cover Letters for Teachers, and 101 Grade A Resumes for Teachers). If you want the ultimate book, you should take a look at Expert Resumes For Teachers And Educators (Expert Resumes). Between these two books you should have all your bases covered!
A lot of help.......2004-01-21
I expect to graduate in May of this year and want to teach high school history. I have no professional experience in the teaching field, so I had no idea how to prepare a resume that would highlight my qualifications and experience that I gained from the office jobs I've held over the last 9 years. This books has several examples of resumes and cover letters from people just like myself. It has given me a lot of ideas.
Fraudulent Reviews?.......2001-03-12
I AM Chris Guin, and I can assure you that I did not provide the "editorial review" listed on this site. I am a former employee of Ms. McKinney, and while I enjoyed my time at PREP and feel that, in general, their resume and career books are of reasonably fair quality, not only do I resent their use of my name on a review that I never wrote, but I have to wonder -- in light of this fraudulent behavior -- how many of the other "reviews" of PREP's titles are equally fraudulent. Doesn't Amazon put ANY effort into verifying the content that is posted on this site?
Awesome resource!.......2001-02-28
This book is ESSENTIAL for anyone applying to grad school, for fellowships, government teaching jobs, elementary, middleschool, high school, college, and counseling positions--just to list a few! The essential cover letter and curriculum vitae is in there too--no need to buy another book! There is too much inside the covers to go over but suffice it to say I created an awesome resume and cover letter using the examples as guides. You can't go wrong with this one!
Powerful Examples.......2000-09-24
With a cover letter and resume for every teaching position under the sun this book is a must have. I personally learn from example, and this book is chock full of them. College professors; counselors; elementary, middle, and high school teachers in all grade levels and subject matters; and administrators will all find this book helpful. A variety of formats highlight both the resumes and cover letters. Use the best from the 180+ page reference. MUST HAVE!!!

Wonderful journaling resource.......1999-11-06
This is a wonderful book on journaling. If you liked this book and would like to read and use mroe books on journaling, read "The Healing Journey" and "The Healing Journey for Couples," both by Phil Rich. There are also 5 other journaling books in the Healing Journey series.
Extremely helpful, even years after its first edition........1999-10-13
I met Christina Baldwin through her father, Leo, when he was a colleague of mine. Ms. Baldwin's personal journaling experience is honest and open, much as she is in person, and gives permission to be the same when one is journaling. Her encouragement and examples made me return to journaling after many years' hiatus.
I would recommend "One to One" for anyone who wants the opportunity to reflect upon their life's journey.
Book Description
A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Career Changers shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped real people change fields or industries. At a time when research shows that most working people have three distinctly different careers, at last there is a book which reveals the successful techniques involved in changing fields. Real-Resumes for Career Changers is based on the philosophy that an effective career-change resume must build bridges to new opportunities. The Table of Contents is designed to show individuals in varying degrees of career change and seeking different goals: finding a new career after motherhood, finding a new product to sell or represent, finding a completely different type of work to do, seeking a change but staying in the same industry, changing fields with absolutely no idea whats next, changing fields with a pretty good idea about whats ahead, and changing from self-employment to something totally different. Each resume and its companion cover letter shown is a picture of a successful career change, and the theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that career-change resumes are the most unusual and most creative because they are selling potential rather than experience.
All resumes in the book are one page in length, and all resumes are accompanied by a companion cover letter. The book begins with a brief section explaining the most effective job-hunting approachthe direct approach. This unique how-to book does not simply tell how to write an effective career-change resume and cover letter; it shows how in page after page of meaty examples.
Other titles in the series being released in the year 2000 are: Real-Resumes for Teachers, Real-Resumes for Students, Real-Resumes for Sales, and Real Essays for College & Grad School.
Book Description
A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Students shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped students launch a career after graduation from college, technical or professional school, or graduate school. Real-Resumes for Students is based on the philosophy that students have particular problems when they approach resume preparation and job hunting. Students are usually seeking their first professional position and they must figure out how to present in a meaningful fashion work experience such as waitress, tutor, intern, student teacher, volunteer, residence hall counselor, and sorority president. The Table of Contents is designed to present actual resumes of real individuals with varying degrees ranging from accounting and computer programming, to sports administration and veterinary technology. The theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words, and all resumes and cover letters shown in the book have been handpicked. There are numerous resumes which illustrate how to show clinical rotations and internships on a resume, and the editor also gives insight into how to use volunteer work and achievements to maximum advantage. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that student resumes are the most creative (and the most difficult to write) because they must sell potential rather than experience.
All resumes in the book are one page in length, and all resumes are accompanied by a companion cover letter.

Book Description

Philosophical Essays.......2005-03-11
This book does one basic job and it does it well. It shows how to think about 10 areas of life that are essential to being happily successful in both work and personal achievement. If you think about these areas this way and behave in accordance with this philosophy, you increase your probabilities of accomplishment, contentment, health and prosperity.
This is a book of philosophical essays. The authors don't use stories, motivational anecdotes, how-to's or lists of resources for further study to accomplish their goals. (Although they include short quotations and examples.) However, you don't have to be an intellectual to read this. It is clear, simple and understandable to an average high school student. And the philosophies can be easily applied. Just be aware that the authors do not hold you by the hand and tell you the possible applications. They do not attempt to entertain you, but simply challenge you to think more effectively about important issues. They offer no cheerleading to spark your enthusiasm, but rather a rationale for thinking of issues in particular ways.
To enjoy this book, you have to appreciate the simple, unadorned imparting of wisdom.

Finally I understand how to this!.......2005-10-12
I have been trying to get a job with the federal government for a long time. I was never sure how to write the 612, resume and KSA's . After reading this book, I feel like I have a really excellent chance to get the job that I want. The real life examples and tips are extremely helpful. I'll keep you posted...
Post office section is small.......2002-05-29
This book says it covers the Post Office KSA'S. It covers about one third of the KSA required to get a supervisors job. The rest and not even discussed. I am still looking for the book which shows all of the KSA's, this book is not the one I wanted.
Medical Records Technician.......2002-02-26
I bought this book for my husband. Hek, this book is fantastic. We utilize the information, converted it to his present job and he went from GS-5 to GS-6/7/8. It is good for both straight civilians and former military people if you know how to use it. Would be a 5 star if it had KSA's for the medical field.
Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Res.......2001-07-10
I purchase this book, in order to apply for a merit promotion vacancy, I have learned that this book is primary oriented for people who have been in the armed forces in a MOS, that will provide them a transfer to the civilian life. This book does not help to a career employee, even it was previously a member in the armed forces, and in a combat MOS. I really, don't think I will take that much of advantage from this book, as from the information I have gathered through the website. I critized the title, that is not specifiying to who is this book oriented and indicating that is not for everybody.

How to Put Your Admissions Committee to Sleep.......2004-03-03
This book might be helpful to give you a general idea of what a cover letter or personal statement should be, but the examples given would put Richard Simmons to sleep. Do yourself a favor and take a look at "Graduate Admissions Essays" instead, which also has a lot of great advice about the whole grad school process.
The examples are also very limited in that they also do not encompass fields such as the humanities or fine arts--only social work, education, law, medicine, and a few for college and military school. I wish I could say something better about this book, but for me it was a total disappointment. None of the essays would make anyone stand up and take notice from the first line, and most start with the boring "With the enclosed information" or "College is important to me because..." A very disappointed 2 thumbs down!
Extremely Useful!.......2003-12-20
When I was applying for graduate school, I bought tons of guide books on graduate and college application essays. Among all of them, this one is the most useful one I found--authentic, REAL SUCCESSFUL ESSAYS! A must for those who want to have a clicking effect..
