David Noble's second edition (I look forward to his third edition) is comprehensive indeed with over 400 pages of sample resumes and cover letters, encompassing a broad spectrum of occupations. Footnote comments are especially helpful to job-seekers who wish to develop their own documents, and the ample gallery of sample works offers even seasoned resume writers fresh ideas in creating form diversity and distinctiveness when considering a client's unique values, personality, and accomplishments in the developmental process.

"Before" and "after" resume comments are helpful and reveal flaws that may not be readily apparent to the novice, and even subtle errors could sink the candidate when found before a seasoned recruiter's eyes.

While most samples are combination style formats, perhaps a few more samples of chronological and functional styles would be helpful to those whose backgrounds fit these categories.

Noble's "Gallery of Best Resumes" is excellent, and I recommend that serious resume writers keep a current desk copy available for ready reference, and be sure to order a copy for your resource library.

Gallery of Best Resumes offers outstanding examples of resumes for career fields ranging from accountants and secretaries, to cake decorators and actors. The resumes represent the best work of professional resume writers from all across the United States. Included are cover letters that are attention getting, 101 best resume tips, and a listing by region of professional resume writers. If you only buy one resume writing guide, this is the one to have

Not exactly a how-to book for the novice. If you have decent writing skills and a pretty good idea what you are doing already, then this is an excellent resource for ideas and templates. I would highly recommend it for someone like me, a long-time front line employee that has moved into management and seriosly needed to upgrade his resume. For those type of people it is definitely 5 stars.

This is a fantastic book, but don't lose your money buying the 2nd edition when the 3rd edition is out there (somewhere)!

I found this to be an excellent source of various types of resumes to use for various careers. If you are wanting ideas on how to write your resume...this is a great investment. A great reference tool and up to date !!

the book is from 1994 and you can not use this book to learn resume writing tips. I didn't even ope the cover. Also the book was taken from the library. How people can do that? They are taking the books from the libraries and sellling them!!! Shame..
