5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well-Written, Clear Guide for Executive Resumes, April 15, 2004

This review is from: CareerJournal.com Resume Guide for $100,000 + Executive Jobs (Paperback)

This book clearly, quickly, and concisely, takes you through how to develop an executive resume and cover letter. It outlines the purpose of various resume elements, and explains why the elements of an executive resume are different than the resume format you learned when you graduated from college.

Well over half of this 300+ page book is sample resumes, and they are really outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRAVO AND WELL-DONE: AN INTELLIGENT RESUME & JOB SEARCH BOOK, September 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: CareerJournal.com Resume Guide for $100,000 + Executive Jobs (Paperback)

Let me say first that I heartily enjoyed reading this book--not only was it intelligently and professionally written, it also helped me to step back and take a fresh look at my own marketability, skills, and accomplishments... Everything that you need to know to create first-class resume, launch a first-class job search, capitalize on the Internet, and start receiving job offers is detailed in this book. The fact that the contents of this book is based on Mr. Montag's experience with the dozens of real-life clients featured in the text gives this entry solid credibility. The marketing packages developed in Part I and the Expansionist Theory and 24/7 Online Job Search Directory in Part II make this book a winning formula for success. Bill Montag has done a great job. Do not hesitate to buy this book.
