After reading all those stellar reviews, I couldn't wait until I received this book, hoping to find something new or different. Each resume in the book is virtually the same, the formats are all the same, and all the helpful hints are rehashed from resume books that have been on the market for years, and which are less expensive. I'm sure it is a coincidence that the author is from Georgia, and all those excellent reviews are from Georgia. Save your money! Nothing new here.

This is the best book on resumes I have read because it includes resumes by industry, great action verbs to use, and sample cover letters. I redid my resume and got the job opportunity I really wanted. A must buy.

With the already over-populated resume book market, one wouldwonder why spend the money on this book? It certainly doesn't sayanything new or different.

In fact, all of the resumes included for reference have the same "look and feel." With the advent of desk top publishing, anyone can effectively produce a professional resume. But if you are looking for some "basic samples," there are many other books on the market to give you more comprehensive information and examples--which cost half as much!

I was fortunate to be in a Masters program at Georgia Tech and to have the opportunity to attend a session with Gayle Oliver as a guest speaker. If you are looking for the ultimate guide to writing a truly good resume, this is it.

What a great deal, this is not only a book, but also includes an interactive CD. Having the CD makes all the difference, it allows you to prepare your resume and cover letter using the examples provided by the author. Why struggle through this process when you can do it so simply and easily right on your computer with the CD.

My future's so bright I gotta wear shades! Thank goodness I found Execume! I was having a hard time getting interviews and decided to do a little research on resume writing. I followed the simple steps in the book and updated my resume into a powerful representation of myself! Many interviews followed. I was told that my resume stood head and shoulders above the rest and that I was immediatly chosen to come in for an interview out of 700 other resume's submitted. I landed an amazing job shortly thereafter! But the best part of all of this is that Execume helped me increase my salary by $15,000!

This resume book is a complete solution for the job hunter to be presented in the most favorable light to an employer. It contains the action verbs, tailored resumes by industry, and sample cover letters. I rewrote my resume with it and landed the opportunity I really wanted. This book will motivate the job prospect to succeed. I highly recommend it.

This is the finest resume book I've ever seen. It is comprehensive, helpful and thoughtful, without seeming condescending. It goes far beyond the usual advice on what "power words" to use and actually shows you, through examples, how to develop a professional profile that truly reflects your skills. The exercises help you remember your past experiences, and will kick start your efforts at developing a resume that is unique and powerful. A CD ROM with over 75 resume samples and cover letters is included, which makes this book a real bargain. You can pay a professional resume writer hundreds of dollars to write for you, or you can just follow the author's advice and examples and probably end up with a better resume by using this book. Don't go looking for a new job -- and especially don't seek a new career without having read this first! It can help shorten your search. There's a lot packed into this 270+ pages! Don't miss a page!

Execume was purchased as a gift for my college age daughter. It is the single best book I have ever read on the subject.

Execume is different! The author is so positive. She helps the job searcher believe in himself/herself. The examples were great in fact the depth of entry level resumes sold me on the book. However there is plenty for everyone. The author provides numerous examples by profession and format.

I would recommend Execume as a great guide to develop a resume. I only wish the book were available when I graduated from college or last changed jobs.
