Customer Reviews

Excellent book for 20-somethings

Most candidates have trouble starting to write a resume and the 20 pages of resume samples short-circuit that stumbling block. It shows numerous "actual" sample resumes in Chapter 8 and highlights sections that are good and WHY. In addition, Chapter 5 answers common questions by job candidates about what to include and provides evidence by polling recruiters and job counselors. Overall, a superb resource for the 1 to 5 year candidate and a great one for anyone looking to brush up their resume.

The book I would have written...

Having been an employment counsellor with University students for the past 25 years I have read many books on Resume writing... This book is the culmination of my views on how a resume should be written in today's ever evolving labour market. I only wish that this book would be translated into other languages (French, Spanish, and German) so that many would benefit from it's wealth of resouces in resume building. As I said...a book I would have written, is well worth the purchase... a job hunter should combine this book with Richard N. Bolles "What Color is your Parachute - 2001" and would have all he or she needed in their job hunt...Good luck and good read.
