“Marky cuts to the core of what it takes to quickly attract the eye of an interviewer. Fearless Résumés is sure to be a winner for the serious job seeker.”
—Lynn Joseph, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Job-Loss Recovery Program Guide

Bestselling author and renowned career coach Marky Stein provides the edge you need in today’s ultracompetitive job market. With Fearless Résumés you will transform your résumé from words on paper into a vibrant self-presentation that tells prospective employers what they want to hear.

In no time, you’ll be crafting a résumé that hooks prospective employers’ attention, turns boring past duties into dynamic personal statements, transforms weaknesses into strengths—and gets your name on top of the résumé heap in any HR office.

Fearless Résumés shows how to

  • Use words and phrases employers look for
  • Prove your value to the company
  • Turn weaknesses into strengths
  • Avoid common snares

Unlike dry, run-of-the-mill guides consisting of little more than a sample résumé, Fearless Résumés is a quick and fun book that provides a proven résumé-crafting strategy from a top expert in her field.

5.0 out of 5 stars if there were 100 stars I'd rate it 100, November 13, 2009
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fearless Resumes: The Proven Method for Getting a Great Job Fast (Paperback)
I'm in a occupation that has been decimated by the current economic crisis- residential construction.

I'm also in business that for years never even used resumes. My mind doesn't think in resume terms.

I worked for many years by "word of mouth".

But, times have changed, and resumes are the thing.

I have agonized for months on trying to get a resume together. I've read information on [...] and other sites on making resumes but I wasn't looking for how to format it, but information on what am I really supposed to be conveying.

This book goes into who is looking at your resume and what they are looking for. The book, in my mind, payed for

itself many times over in it's take on ageism, which is right at the beginning. It helped with me completing the resume but also in how I answer job ads.

What this book helped me put together was a resume that was "me". She led me away from from constantly second guessing myself and obsessing about "who" I am trying to address the resume to and how do I tweak it for what that "audience" may want(which pretty much sabotaged my making any resume at all.)

I just finished my resume today and it's not perfect, but, of course, but, I'm confident with it.

For me this is one of those rare, rare books that truly helped me in a difficult time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to rivet the reader, October 11, 2011
By 
B. Siemens (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fearless Resumes : The Proven Method for Getting a Great Job Fast is very useful as a resource to write a basic resume. Marky Stein presents clear instructions to focus energy on capturing the attention of employers - "rivet the reader" - and to keep distractions out of the resume. The samples were well-written and representative of several industries and career levels. Even though I eventually worked with a career consultant to fine-tune my own resume, I am glad that I borrowed this book and then purchased it to keep it in my own library for years to come.
