Editorial Reviews

Review

Chuck and Donna have written a book with a slightly different slant to developing a resume than other do-it-yourself resume books on the shelves. ... the book makes an interesting read for a resume writer or career counselor and gives a good insight into helping clients develop a focus for their career goals. -- PARW Magazine, May 1998

Cochran and Peerce present a totally new approach to resume-writing. Heart & Soul Resumes is enhanced with an appendix with 20 real-life resume makeovers which show the astonishing difference these concepts can make in positively communicating the "real you." The "after" versions of these resume examples are impressive and appealing, demonstrating that it is well-chosen content, not one specific style, that tips the scales on a job application. -- Mid-West Book Review, May 1998

Time for our monthly report on the best in career tools or information. My choice is the book Heart & Soul Resumes. If you want to change direction in a career or change to a new career, this book can help create a resume that doesn't just say where you've been, but where you are going. -- Mark & Dale Talk Jobs! June 20, 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! I Can't Believe a Resume Book Could Be So Good!, June 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart & Soul Resumes: Seven Never-Before-Published Secrets to Capturing Heart & Soul in Your Resume (Paperback)

The content was professionally written in a very pleasant and interesting way. It basically explores the human side of your career and of writing your resume; and, avoids the tedius clinical text that I've seen in the other resume books.

It's not really all about resumes either. It really helped me focus in on my own marketability.

This is definitely not your every day run-of-the-mill resume book. I truly believe it has changed my life and how I look at my profession.

I would highly recommend it to anyone in career transition!
