5.0 out of 5 stars
A traditional approach with valuable insight, August 21, 2001
This review is from: Better Resumes for Sales and Marketing Personnel (Paperback)
It is obvious that anyone who wants to work in sales or marketing should have a superb resume... after all, if you can't sell yourself to an employer, how could you possibly sell their products or services? Thankfully, books like this one exist... you provide the coal (your education and experience), and Lewis and Corwin will fashion it into a diamond (one gem of a resume!).
The first 80 pages of the book are packed with excellent advice on resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, and job hunting. Some of their methods are unfashionable in the current job marketplace (they focus strictly on the chronological resume format, for example, and always include a "references available" statement), but it's generally a bad idea for anyone new to anything to break with tradition. The rest of the book contains 100 sample resumes, nicely categorized by market segment and job description.
Bottom line: if you're looking for a job in sales, marketing, or management, then you can't afford to miss this book.
