Customer Reviews

Exactly what I wanted

This was a terrific seller. I needed this book to replace a library copy gone missing. Since this is the third edition and out of print, securing a new or like-new copy was essential. The seller sold me a copy in pristine condition which the library accepted as a perfect replacement after they wouldn't take a fourth edition.

Great Resume Book

I had been searching for a new job and wanting to move out to California to be closer to my family but I wasnt getting any sort of responses from the resumes I sent out, not even rejection letters. I got this book and read through it, followed the advice on the resumes and the cover letters, and had someone I know that has a business look over my resume and tell me what he thought. He told it me it was an outstanding resume and that he had a position opening at his company in March 2006 but he was almost 100% with a resume like that I would have a job before then. I also posted my resume on an online job finder. I applied for jobs in California even though I am 2,000 miles away and for the first time in almost 3 years I least I got rejection letters and also I got an employer wanting an interview even though I was obviously not in California. This book really works! Get it and at least try it out, what have you got to lose a few bucks. I couldn't believe some of the salaries of jobs I was being considered for.

Solid, good information

As a Certified Professional Resume Writer, I am always keen to keep abreast of new trends in the job-search industry. David F.

These people encompass a vast range of occupations from healthcare, paralegals, military, sales & marketing - and a host of others. The book is well laid out and provides extensive, easy to read information for the person embarking upon the difficult task of putting pen to paper. It touches upon writing tips, job search strategies, grammar, spelling, design and layouts. "The Gallery" ventures into Part 2 of the book. Resume samples produced for "real life" people by leading professional resume writers, are grouped in categories. At the end of each resume, notes regarding style, margins, font use and reasons behind the layout and wording selection are provided.While you won't find 50 examples of your particular job discipline, you will find a range of styles, approaches and formats that will appeal to you, and that you'll be easily able to adapt to your own particular situation.
