Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

While database resume systems and electronic job banks are making life easier for beleaguered human resources departments, do these mass databases help the applicant get an interview? Weddle, the president of Job Bank USA, claims that electronic resumes work best for skilled technical people with specific skills. In addition to providing guidelines for writing an electronic resume that is both machine-readable and rich in attractive keyworks, he evaluates sample electronic resumes and includes an extensive worksheet. While his coverage is simple and workable, it does not compare to the depth of information and detail in Joyce L. Kennedy and Thomas J. Morrow's Electronic Resume Revolution (LJ 2/15/94), though neither title includes information about individual independent resume database services. Kennedy and Morrow's title remains the essential purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warp speed jobs, high tech skills, free agent employees, February 18, 1999

This review is from: Electronic Resumes for the New Job Market: Resumes That Work For You 24 Hours A Day (Paperback)

This book is based on the practical experience of Peter Weddle who is president of Job Bank USA, an electronic resume database company. Although this book may strike you as self-promotional, Weddle discusses three topics in detail that I found of particular value: 1) the importance of developing a "perpetual resume;" 2) the two factors that strongly influence the format of an electronic resume; and 3) a well-defined approach to integrating format and substance to satisfy both a computer and a human reading your resume. Weddle does an excellent job of describing their importance within the context of warp speed jobs, high definition skills, and free agent employees. Bravo!
