Best examples of Resumes available

I have read extensively in this subject and this book is the best by far in regards to examples. Normally books have at most a dozen examples; this has more than 100 hundred. The are based on real cases, so you get the chance to explore different stiles and find one that fits you. The same applies to fraises, key words, formats, etc.This book is recommended for management and high level positions, not for entry or middle level employees.My Resume, based on what I learned in this book, was praised by a top Headhunter in the country as very well written.

The best resume book for experienced people

If you have 5+ yrs of work experience and are looking at updating/writing your resume, don't even think about doing it without reading this book. Resumes are not written the way they used to be, and this books explains how to do it right for todays world. Reviews techniques and styles and provides lots of examples for many many different types of backgrounds and job classes. If you don't read this book, you failed your first step in getting a new job.

This is the best resume reference book I have ever used

Asher has laid out the book in an easy to follow style. I like that he gives more than one opinion on different styles and formulas for a good resume. His book gave me some great ideas. As a recruiter it is very helpful to have an insighful reference like this one.

Excellent companion to Rites of Passage

Not for entry level or middle managers. It gives a very good explanation of what it takes to write an effective resume at the General Manager, VP, CEO level. The main body of the book is dedicated to present real examples (More than 200), of course the names and companies modified for confidentiality. Other chapters dedicated for Artists, Scientists, lawers etc.

Excellent for examples of executive resumes.

I browsed this book and am buying it because it provides examples of how to write an executive resume. It has a large number of resumes with formatting that is top-notch. You will also find some excellent examples of how to strengthen your executive resume. It is not so much a "how to" book as a source of excellent resume examples for Director, VP, General Manager, and President level jobs.
