Chapter 30. The Best Tools Get the Best Jobs, Especially in a Down Market

A photographer would never show up for a fashion shoot with just one camera lens. A carpenter would never arrive at a construction site with only a hammer. An artist would never apply for a design position without showing a complete portfolio of samples. So why do most job seekers use only their resume as the cornerstone of their search? This is not effective under ordinary circumstances, and it's absolutely deadly if you'r etrying to get a job when no one's hiring.

In this section of the book, we'll do the bulk of the work on preparing your complete arsenal of career success documents, otherwise known as your Job Search Survival Toolkit.
