Kick Starting Your Career in 2017 with the Top Career Books

Writing a resume is never easy: you need to be able to professionally tell your future employer about your skills, your achievements and anything else required within 2 pages or even less. Although there are plenty of sources telling you how to successfully compose an effective resume, and online resume builders are great assets in doing so too, you still need all the help that comes across your path of job seeking.

One such help is a book on resume writing: and we have three expert-written books with which you can face the challenges CVs can hold in 2017 and beyond.

With over 10,000,000 copies sold since its first publication, What Color Is Your Parachute? is considered to be the most popular job-search book in the world. An optimal choice for job seekers, it is not only republished every year with up-to-date information and the newest advices, but they all come from Richard N. Bolles, founder of the modern career counseling field. The guide contains all classic elements from the previous iterations, like the so-called Flower Exercise, and the demystification of the whole job-hunting process, but also contains updated tips on how to handle your social media presence and how to effectively search for the ideal job. To make things even better, What Color Is Your Parachute? is available in regular, audio and eBook format too, so you can enjoy the advices of Mr. Bolles any time you need a helping hand in looking for a job.

Despite having a title that is ideal for a tongue twister, this book, written by Frank Olash, is the perfect choice for those who want to quickly get the picture regarding the 2017 trends of the labor market. Under only 66 pages, which contain sample documents as well, you will learn the strategies of effectively organizing your resume, how to stand out from the competition, what to include and leave out, and when you will need a cover letter as well. The book is a must for fresh graduates too, because it contains tips on how to make sure your future employer picks you even if you have little to no experience or none at all.

If you are not convinced yet, the price will do: Amazon sells this book for only $8.97 or $3.80 for the Kindle app version.
