For the first time, a book exists that compiles all the information candidates need to apply for their first Assessors job, or to apply for a better job, loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths. Discover that.. - Appraisers and assessors must meet licensing and/or certification requirements which vary by State, but generally include specific training requirements, a period of work as a trainee, and passing one or more examinations. - More than 3 out of 10 are self-employed; salaried assessors work primarily in local government, while salaried appraisers worked mainly for real estate firms. - Employment is expected to grow faster than average. The book comes filled with useful cheat sheets. It helps you get your career organized in a tidy, presentable fashion. It also will inspire you to produce some attention-grabbing cover letters that convey your skills persuasively and attractively in your application packets. After studying it, too, you'll be prepared for interviews, or you will be after you conducted the practice sessions where someone sits and asks you potential questions.

This book makes a world of difference in helping you stay away from vague and long-winded answers and you will be finally able to connect with prospective employers, including the one that will actually hire you. Highly recommended to any harried Appraiser jobseeker, whether you want to work for the government or a company. You'll plan on using it again in your efforts to move up in the world for an even better position down the road. What you'll find especially helpful are the worksheets. It is so much easier to write about a work experience using these outlines. It ensures that the narrative will follow a logical structure and reminds you not to leave out the most important points. With this book, you'll be able to revise your application into a much stronger document, be much better prepared and a step ahead for the next opportunity. This book offers excellent, insightful advice for everyone from entry-level to senior professionals. None of the other such career guides compare with this one. It stands out because it: 1) explains how the people doing the hiring think, so that you can win them over on paper and then in your interview; 2) has an engaging, reader-friendly style; 3) explains every step of the job-hunting process - from little-known ways for finding openings to getting ahead on the job.

Those who seek jobs in the real estate and property management field--or who want to transition skills and experience from that field into other industries--will find this book to be a valuable resource!
Resumes and cover letters shown include those of realtors, real estate brokers, mortgage loan processors, apartment complex managers, appraisers and sales agents, foremen and superintendents, leasing consultants, office managers, property managers, interior designers, title researchers, housing managers, contract managers, and many others. This is a practical, down-to-earth guide to preparing resumes and cover letters that target a particular field.
This book will provide a competitive edge to those who seek employment related to real estate and property management. For those who seek federal employment which emphasizes real estate knowledge or property management skills, there's a special section in the book showing how to create federal resumes and government applications.
A word of advice from Editor Anne McKinney: "If you want to enter or advance in the real estate or property management field, you don't need just any resume book. You need an industry-specific resume book! You will also find this book helpful if you want to leave the industry and transition your skills to ‘greener pastures.’ You will love this specially targeted book. Every resume and cover letter we put in a Real-Resumes Series book has been tested and proven in the real job market. Don't play games with your career. Your choice of a resume book is one of the most important career decisions you will ever make."
Praise for this book and other books in the Real-Resumes Series:
"Part of an excellent real-resumes series. Impressive, with sophisticated, persuasive, and nuanced guidance.” - The Book Reader
"These excellent new guides don't just provide the usual coverage on how to write a resume. They provide industry-specific examples, industry-specific tips and cautions, and industry-specific strategies based on real-world resumes. Since many technical types aren't writers, this comes as a special gift; select a winning format, plug in your background specs, and away you go. It's that easy--with Real-Resumes in hand."-- The Midwest Book Review
“Distinguished by its highly readable samples." Library Journal

"After spending some years in private industry, I wanted to get a federal job. The Real-Resumes samples showed me how to create a federal resume and KSAs for federal employment." K. Montisorio
