Why this kit
Most resume guides are written for software or office jobs. This one is written for engineers who work on plants: refineries, LNG, gas processing, chemicals, fertilizer, power and utilities. It was written by a rotating equipment and turnaround engineer with 20 years of plant experience, someone who has sat on both sides of the interview table.
