Book Description

October 12, 1998
A cutting-edge resume and job search guide for executives in the 75K and above salary range-featuring the patented Expansionist Theory(TM)

Written by a veteran career advisor, this one-of-a-kind resource is packed with essential tips, tools, and advice for executives beginning a job search. This totally revised and expanded edition of the original bestseller is a complete job search guide that will help you launch a search with the same competitive edge held by clients of Montag Associates-who enjoy a placement success rate that far surpasses the outplacement industry norm. As shown through real-life case histories, clients and readers who combined the power resumes developed in Part I with the market-tested search theories in Part II have repeatedly outmarketed, outsmarted, and outdistanced the competition.

Featuring over 60 real-life skills and achievement-oriented resumes-all with accompanying cover letters-this Second Edition contains invaluable pointers on defining and packaging marketable skills and achievements, a question-and-answer section, and new chapters and appendices covering such vital topics as launching the job search, the executive interview, the top ten rules of the job market, and an executive guide to the Internet. There's a provocative new chapter documenting the impact of predatory greed on a stressed-out workforce-who can wrest control of their careers by executing a multistep, high-volume job search process that distinguishes the Expansionist Theory. While the competition dawdles, clients and readers get results. So will you.

Thorough and accessible, Best Resumes for $75,000+ Executive Jobs, Second Edition is a must-have for any executive looking for a competitive edge in the twenty-first century job market.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADD THIS BOOK TO YOUR JOB SEARCH LIBRARY TODAY!, May 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Resumes for $75,000 + Executive Jobs, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
As a repeat buyer who purchased both the first and second editions of Mr. Montag's book, I am a satisfied customer indeed. This new and expanded second edition is now a complete job search guide that has given me a real competitive edge--the upgraded quality of my letter/resume packages (developed in Part I) plus a multi-step job search process (detailed in Part II) have produced results. I particularly like the fact that each of the sample resume/letter packages represents a real-life client that Mr. Montag has served and helped over the past two decades. Unlike many resume books that include sample resumes written by people other than the author, each and every letter/resume package in this book was originally researched and prepared by Mr. Montag himself. Bluntly speaking, I followed the book because every recommended step in this text was personally market-tested and proven by the author himself. He backs up every word with first-hand experience. The bottom-line is that the quality of the first edition obviously led to this excellent second edition. I recommend this book without reservation. Add it to your library today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on writing a hybrid-format executive resume, September 9, 1998
By A Customer
As a professional resume writer, I have found the style and advice in this book invaluable in writing a resume, not only for executives, but also for those who want to move up to an executive/management level in their career. A resume is often the first thing a potential partner/employer/financial-backer sees that allows them to connect to you as a person and on what you have to offer. The samples and background advice in this book are top-notch. Although, I do not recommend lifting phrases wholesale out of other people's resumes/letters, this book can help tremendously in seeing the structure and form of a well-done resume that gets results.

I bought both this book and "Rites of Passage..." at the same time. This book was so full of information and examples that I sent "Rites of Passage..." back. I didn't need it. This is an excellent resource.
