- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:

"The Notables Technique"

If you are having difficulty filling in the details contained in the bullet points of the resume, ask yourself this question: What did I do that was notable? Ask this question for each section, for each major heading and for each activity listed on your resume.. As you do, you will begin to formulate the detail which will begin to build an outstanding resume. Were you the youngest person ever hired by your employer?

- Youngest person ever hired by this upscale fashion store.

Did you receive any special awards or recognitions in your academic program?

- Received the Johnson Award of Excellence, which is given to the top three students in the Journalism degree program.

Did you accomplish anything of note in your extracurricular activities?

- Captain of the first school wrestling team to ever win the regional title.

Think about the notable accomplishments in your life. Think about what you might tell your parents or grandparents about notable accomplishments during your college years. These notables will provide you with excellent detail for your resume. These notables are what set you apart from the crowd. They are what I look for in deciding whom to interview. And they are the basis for many of the compelling stories told in interviews which lead to eventual offers.

Note your notables. Build them into your resume. And build them into your job search vocabulary to provide the foundation for showing what makes you truly different.

- Job Search Book Online

There are at least two other entry level Web sites that offer books on job searching, proclaming that they will tell you everything you need to know about entry level job search.

However, there is a very important point about these books they don't mention up front: they cost money.

At CollegeGrad.com, we give you two things they don't:

    1. The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").
    2. It's free.

It's that simple. So don't buy the hype. Read the real information you need for FREE:

Don't ever pay for books or reports or resources of lower quality when you can access the very best quality information for free.

P.S. Yes, you can buy "College Grad Job Hunter" in hardcopy format as well at Amazon.com for $15 (actually, 30% off that price), but the online version is better. Why? Because the version at Amazon.com (the 2003 edition) is being continually updated at CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is actually the online, free version.
