Customer Reviews

Good Book.

Good resumes. short and sweet. Very useful for persons in 50s and above. Boiler plates for most common professionals that can be edited and modified.A CD would have been even better. Simple style.

Professional Coach review by someone who works with people making this transition

All of Wendy Enelow's books on resume writing are excellent. She is particularly good at providing examples of powerful resumes and illustrates the principles she talks about to grab an employer's attention. This book is simply written, contains the most important information you need to know to do a good resume and an assortment of formats, different types of resumes, etc. I have used this book with my clients and I highly recommend it for those that are returning to work. It is encouraging and shows you how to take your transferable skills and present them in the best possible light.

Surprisingly valuable - more than a list of resumes!

I really like the format and targeted focus of this book. It's a big 8 1/2 by 11 book - easy on the eyes. The first 62 pages gives good solid advice on the HOW of resume writing. It includes strategies for job search, gathering information, and examples of formatting styles. The rest of the book gives many examples of resumes and analyzes what the resume is designed to emphasize and why. If you are returning to the employment world after an absence - for any reason - this book is practical and mind expanding.
