Customer Reviews

Better help that I was getting elsewhere...

This book was extremely helpful in resume writing. I learned many things I wasn't being taught be the Career Services department here at the university and I also learned a few don'ts that I was being taught to DO by Career Services. Overall, this is a very helpful career building resource. The future chapters about asking for promotions, quiting with integrity, and finding a new job should be quite helpful to me in the future making this book worth every penny.
