Are You Looking for an Administrative Job?: “From Resume to Job Ready”

By Catherine R. Cameron

CRAWFORDVILLE, FLA – After working in the business world for 43 years, Catherine R. Cameron has seen her fair share of resumes run across her desk.  Now, she takes her wealth of experience and pens her new book, “Are you looking for an administrative job?   From Resume to Job Ready.” (published by Trafford Publishing).

Cameron has created a how-to book that helps get job hunters from the resume to job ready and be able to successfully function in a business environment.

“There are books on how to prepare a resume, questions and answers about different subjects, not one that blends it all.” Cameron explains on the uniqueness of “Are you looking for an administrative job?’

“Are you looking for an administrative job?’ is especially helpful in support of administrative receptionists, secretaries and administrative assistants.

“Are you looking for an administrative job?  From Resume to Job Ready.”
