  • Steal This Resume

    Mark Petterson

    eBook (Easy Reader Press, Jan. 4, 2014)
    The truth is there are a ton of books out there on how to write resumes. Many of the books are quite good. But studying an entire book about writing resumes is like learning auto mechanics just to drive across town. Why bother? Instead, why not find a great resume that's already written and use the best parts for yourself? It's easy, cheap and saves you time better spent searching for that next great job.Since Kindle cannot properly display resume and cover letter formats I’m including a special link at the end of this publication where you can download your free PDF version of "Steal This Resume". This eBook is 913 pages long and contains over 500 job-winning resumes and cover letters formatted specifically to fit on regular-sized 8 ½ by 11-inch paper -- exactly the way you’d submit a hard copy to a prospective employer.As an added bonus I'm including three Special Reports you're sure to find useful. Special Report #1 contains resources listing over 100,000 jobs available right now. Special Report #2 discloses what the hottest jobs will be from now until 2020. And Special Report #3 reveals the very best locations for finding great jobs."Steal This Resume" is the perfect resource for job-seekers. Each of the over 500 resumes and cover letters is precision-crafted using persuasive phrasing and powerful language aimed at finding great employment. The hard work has already been done.

Much faster, too.The only way I can make this any easier is by coming over to your place and writing a resume for you. Which I'm happy to do but professional resume writers like me are very expensive. Now let me tell you a little secret no professional resume writer wants you to know: we all use the same power verbs and action adjectives and marketing phrases over and over again. Really. Think about it. When I'm writing a great resume for a new client I always refer back to my previous resumes and pull out the best words and phrases to use again. And why not? There are really only a limited number of words and phrases to use anyway. But once you know what they are and where to put them you can use them yourself with great success. And they're all in my 913-page eBook "Steal This Resume" just waiting for you.Picture it like strolling down a restaurant buffet where you can select the choicest words or phrases or descriptions and load them all onto your plate.

  • The City-State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlantic Power, 1630-1865

    Mark Peterson

    Hardcover (Princeton University Press, April 23, 2019)
    A groundbreaking history of early America that shows how Boston built and sustained an independent city-state in New England before being folded into the United StatesIn the vaunted annals of America’s founding, Boston has long been held up as an exemplary “city upon a hill” and the “cradle of liberty” for an independent United States. Wresting this iconic urban center from these misleading, tired clichés, The City-State of Boston highlights Boston’s overlooked past as an autonomous city-state, and in doing so, offers a pathbreaking and brilliant new history of early America. Following Boston’s development over three centuries, Mark Peterson discusses how this self-governing Atlantic trading center began as a refuge from Britain’s Stuart monarchs and how―through its bargain with slavery and ratification of the Constitution―it would tragically lose integrity and autonomy as it became incorporated into the greater United States.Drawing from vast archives, and featuring unfamiliar figures alongside well-known ones, such as John Winthrop, Cotton Mather, and John Adams, Peterson explores Boston’s origins in sixteenth-century utopian ideals, its founding and expansion into the hinterland of New England, and the growth of its distinctive political economy, with ties to the West Indies and southern Europe. By the 1700s, Boston was at full strength, with wide Atlantic trading circuits and cultural ties, both within and beyond Britain’s empire. After the cataclysmic Revolutionary War, “Bostoners” aimed to negotiate a relationship with the American confederation, but through the next century, the new United States unraveled Boston’s regional reign. The fateful decision to ratify the Constitution undercut its power, as Southern planters and slave owners dominated national politics and corroded the city-state’s vision of a common good for all.Peeling away the layers of myth surrounding a revered city, The City-State of Boston offers a startlingly fresh understanding of America’s history.
