I found this book to be very helpful, and include more variety than others on the market. The online section was good - brief and to the point. I think this is a book for the future on getting your foot in the door.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive and Creative, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 More Best Resumes (Paperback)

I just received this book and was pleased to see the variety of resumes. There really are a lot of different ones to mirror. They also included lean and mean tips on job searching, interviewing, working with recruiters, doing stuff online and electronically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Professional Guidance, August 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 More Best Resumes (Paperback)

I found this book very helpful. I am director of sales, and found a good balance of examples and tips. Most of the resumes are geared toward business professionals, with an emphasis on how to develop your resume with the hiring company in mind. This is important in our industry from a sales perspective, and they teach you the same approach in presenting yourself to the customer, meaning the hiring manager/company.
