Great resource for college grads and all youung professionals

One of the most daunting tasks for new graduates is writing their resume. They wonder, "What's going to make me stand out to an employer?" "How do I explain why I wasn't working for 3 months after graduation?" "What's the best way to make sure my resume isn't thrown into the trash?" This book answers all those questions and more. Best of all, there is an example of just about any type of resume you could ever need. Every college graduate and young professional should own a copy of this book. Anne Brown, Author Grad to Great

Excellent Work

This book was very useful. The resume examples were helpful, but the best thing I saw was the tactical tips on how to use the resume, how to network, what to say, how to use career fairs and on-campus recruiting, alumni, etc. Gave me some good ideas. In fact, I did something in networking at a job fair that they wrote about in a case study that got me a good interview.
