Customer Reviews

Awesome book

I have applied to dozens of jobs in the past few months using a resume I though was great. I am very well qualified but did not recieve ANY calls. I bought this book on Monday, today is Thursday, followed it step-by-step and sent out 6 resumes. Now I have 4 interviews next week. I have read several books and spent countless hours on all the career advice sites and this book beats them all. If you are looking for a new career, BUY THIS BOOK, you will not be sorry.

Easy to construct a well written resume

Bought this because I've been off the market for a while and knew I could upgrade my resume with the right tools. The suggestions improved my resume quite a bit. It's easy to read straight through or pick and choose what you need. Several sample resumes were helpful, but I was surprised there were no healthcare examples.

Top Notch Resume Book

This book is fabulous! Over the course of one day, I've taken my resume from super dull and boring to incredible! I had no idea how bad my resume was until I read this book. The book gives tons of advice on how to format your resume and up-to-date information on what to add to your resume, like 'keywords.' If you think your resume needs a facelift, get this book! I looked through many books at the bookstore before I selected this one and I'm confident I made the right choice!

Honestly, the most useful resume book I've seen

The title seems a little cheesy but this really is a great book to help write a resume... It tells you how to effectively use keywords in your resume for the age of Internet and electronic scanners that we live in today. Plus, it gives a huge list of "action verbs" to use, teaches you how to write a "resume headliner" to grab readers' attention and how to use numbers and statistics effectively (even if you're not in sales, business or accounting fields). I could go on and on, this book is packed with tons of GOOD examples (broken down by job type and levels of experience) and other useful inforamtion that most other resume books don't cover.

Excellent source for advice on constructing a resume

I had received this book thinking that it would be "just" another new book on writing a resume. I found it to be very helpful and it provided me with detailed instructions on how to construct and create a resume that is much better than I would have been able to create on my own. Thank you.
