From Booklist
The samples alone might be worth the book's cover price. Hinds, who does indeed cite resume writing as one of her core skills, does a good job of compiling information about job searches--with a concentration on CVs and letters and other need-to-know writing. Included are an annotated roundup of assessment tests, from Myers-Briggs to the Strong Interest Inventory; a litany of common job-hunters' mistakes (for instance, not looking an interviewer directly in the eyes); and, of course, a variety of resumes and cover letters. Yet it's difficult to ascertain her target audience. Should it be soon-to-graduate high-schoolers, looking for summer employment or to further define "what do I do with my life?" Is it the new BA, MA, or PhD who needs to find a professional job after years of schooling? This is a general introduction to precede more sophisticated career-seeking manuals. Barbara Jacobs
