The best guide to writing a resume for degreed professionals,
By
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume, Second Edition (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I had a heck of a time finding a decent resume guide, whether in book format or on the Internet or on software. Every one was completely different, and most of the ones that I either bought or looked at, dealt with people who had either high school education, high school with experience, one college degree, or someone who had been in the job market/working world for a while and was merely refreshing his/her resume. I was looking for information on how to write a resume when you have several degrees in different fields, and writing experience. I also wanted direction on how to make the most of all the experience I have in teaching both hearing and deaf people, volunteer work, odd jobs, etc. and I just couldn't find that information anywhere else. After a lot of disappointments, I finally came upon this book. I guess the title of these books tend to turn me off, but this book was by far the most complete and useful of everything I've used or looked at, and it is the one I finally based my resume on. I certainly intend to recommend this particular book to others including my students. Karen Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh

Fabulous techniques, tips and up-to-date information,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume (Paperback)
This has to be one of the best resume-writing guides available (and I've read them all!) I'm in the business of writing resumes and often refer to Susan Irelands gems of wisdom to turn my clients' simple, ordinary work histories into simply extraordinary, job-winning achievements. A great resource!

Only resume book you'll ever need,
By dana (toronto, ON.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Perfect Resume, 3E (Paperback)
On the cover of the book it says, "the only resume book you'll ever need". I found that to be very true. I went to an employment resource centre and took a look at more than 15 'expert' resume books, most were garbage, and then i found Susan Ireland's book. I still find the title of her book, "the complete idiot's guide..." insulting. However, don't let the title discourage you. this book does an excellent job for people going through a career change (myself). I have written many resumes and found this book taught me new tricks, boosted my confidence, and best of all showed me how to write a successful resume. Excellent for both expert and novice resume writters. I rated this book 4 stars because of the terrible Cover Letter section. For example, p.186 from book: "... Dear Mr. Foremost, or this clever one: ".... Dear Mr. Callahan, Those are some of the weakest examples of cover letters i have ever read. Completely unacceptable in my opionion. My advice, check out the book for the resume section only.
