General Resources: If you are looking for more information about resumes, cover letters, and interviewing, I highly recommend The Hidden Power of a Good Cover Letter by John Schoettler . This book is a masterpiece and is what originally led me to the concept of this particular blog post. For example, it contains a full chapter on why cover letters have lost their effectiveness. If you are still waiting to find out if you’re actually going to get the job, check out Head for the Highway by Laurie Puhn . This book is the final word on how to get the interview.
