Very Helpful.

Fantástica colección de ejemplos...

Este libro, junto con el de "Resumés" presenta una fantástica colección de Cartas de Presentación para todo tipo de trabajos. Incluso cubre modalidades poco exploradas tipo Cartas-CV o cartas referenciando a terceros que forman parte de tu networking. A mi modo de ver, le faltaría un poco más de organización a la hora de agrupar las cartas, es complicado en este caso (y curiosamente no lo es en el de Resumés) el diferenciar el trabajo al que va destinada la carta, salvo si uno lee la carta. Por lo demás, los ejemplos son muy buenos y prácticos. Carlos Ortega 2006-01-31

The Reader (Previous Reviewer) Didn't Read!

Unfortunately, the previous book review gave a bad rap to a really good book containing proven resume advice that has significantly benefited thousands of job seekers (who have gone through our company's outplacement program) in finding new and exciting job opportunities.Also, unfortunately, the previoius reviewer didn't read! On page 16 of the book, it clearly states that the the ideal resume FORMAT shown in Chapter 1 is "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED AS THE MODEL FOR TAILORING YOUR OWN RESUME", and that the 175 resume samples that follow were carefully chosen (FROM OVER 25,000 RESUMES)for their CONTENT (not format). Further, you need to know that the EXACT ADVICE provided in this book has been followed by thousands of outplaced employees going through our company's career transition programs (from such client companies as Procter & Gamble, DuPont, PepsiCO, Kimberly-Clark, Washington Mutual, Scott Paper, US Department of Defense, and numerous others)with enormouse success. Numerous persons, to whom we have provided help, have commented that the resume format recommended by us (and contained in Chapter 1 of this book)played a significant role in helping them getjob interviews as well as job offers. Employers have frequently complimented our clients about the quality and effectiveness of their resumes, and they have enthusiastically shared this information with us after returning from their job interviews..I would be willing to bet my next John Wiley royalty check that if the reader (i.e., previous reviewer) followed the recommended format and content strongly recommended in Chapter 1, that his resume played a major role in the success of his job hunting campaign.I should also mention, that as the book's author, I am one of the leading US Career Authors (12 books, 6 best sellers - nearly 1 million copies sold )and have over 30 years employment-related background including a leading Fortune 200 corporation and an international executive search firm. I have read an estimated 150,000 resumes during my career, so I hopefully have the first-hand professional experience and advice that you can count on when preparing a strong resume that will serve you well!Please read Chapter 1 of this book carefully! It will, I am sure, be of tremendous help in preparation of a highy effective resume that will serve you well in your job search! Good luck, and my best for a successful career!Richard H.
