Customer Reviews

Excellent!

I used it to update my resume and now my resume is 10 times better than before! One of the many things that it includes is a list of tough problems that you might come across. This list tells you where to find the specific example resumes to illustrate solutions to each problem.

It's a damn good book, indeed!

As a career counselor who has helped hundreds of students and career transitioners market themselves through their resumes, I constantly refer to this book for layout and content ideas. The resume is often the first impression a potential employer has of a candidate and it can be the difference between getting an interview or not. This book has great examples of how to showcase one's skills & experience in an easy-to-read, attractive manner. It's the most used book on my book shelf!

Resume Catalog: 200 Damn Good Examples

This author writes the finest resume writing materials on the market. This book has wonderful examples that demonstrate the value of a good self marketing tool. This is one of the most utilized resoures in our library for job seekers.

A great help in bringing focus to my resume.

I'm not good at being objective in reviewing my own resume. The help I got from Yana Parker's book and other elements in her home page were very useful in letting me be more objective. I've got what I consider an age problem (61 and counting). With her help, I was able to make a much better presentation of what I have to offer while not being dishonest about this factor. Thanks.

Highly Recommended! The best book on resume I know.

I teach a seminar to clients of the Texas Workforce Commission. Yana's books are the best on resumes I have seen, and I review a lot of resume books. She is direct, inspiring and right on target. I know from experience that what she suggests works because I have seen so many people be successful after they understand the concept of targeted, relevant resumes. Do yourself a favor. Buy the book.
