Customer Reviews

Common sense help

If you haven't updated your resume in awhile this text offers a number of updated formats and ideas. It includes excellent common sense check lists and strategies. The key to this book is that it emphasizes that you are selling yourself in your cover letter and resume and offers clear ways to do so. Overall I found it easy to read and implement.

Quite a Few "Starters"

While I wouldn't say every resume in this book is top-notch, there are many of them that are quite well done. Two in my specific area of expertise gave me the "boost" to make my own resume look much better. I would say this book is definitely worth it if you find your resume not getting the response you had hoped for even though your skills are up-to-date. There's also quite a lot of writing on how to position yourself better on your resume and in your cover letter. While a lot of this information is available on the Internet (and a few of the resources are outdated), it is handy to have it all together in this package as a "reinforcement." Overall, worth a pickup if you feel stuck in your job hunt.

Great Resource

I found this to be more useful than other resume books because it was current AND was geared towards our industry. The reference samples and layout ideas gave me the "jump start" I needed.
