I had a few problems with this book,
By
This review is from: High-Level Resumes: High-Powered Tactics for High-Earning Professionals (Paperback)
I'm a professional resume writer; I purchased this book among others as a resource. I was disappointed for three main reasons: 1) most of the resumes were written in very traditional formats; nothing clever or innovative 2) the same style seems to be used over and over...each one looks like a template 3) my biggest complaint is the lack of a resume index. There are 37 resume examples but no where in this book can you find out which page relates to healthcare, IT or manufacturing. Therefore, you have to flip through every single resume to find the industry or position you are seeking. Not user-friendly at all! I finally took the time to categorize each resume myself, print out my own index and tape it inside the book cover. However, I haven't really even used this book as a reference...I really don't recommend this one at all.

Craft Your Story,
By Tom K. (Carmel, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Level Resumes: High-Powered Tactics for High-Earning Professionals (Paperback)
This book emphasizes the need to determine exactly what image and story will connect you with your target job. It provides current, relevant, well-formatted examples for executives. The work-sheets and steps are adequate, but not overly insightful. This is a book that is worth browsing from the library to find examples that resonate. Reading the rationale for the story approach is worthwhile. You'll want to find another book to walk you through the details of resume construction as a complement to this one.

Same Stuff, Different Packaging,
By Fred "A cool gal" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Level Resumes: High-Powered Tactics for High-Earning Professionals (Paperback)
There are a great many innovative books out there on resume writing; this is not one of them. At this point, the only new approach to resume writing would be to make yourself a hologram of you speaking your resume--the formats in this book are just like everything else out there on the market. If you've looked at other books on resumes, you won't need this one. If you're new to the wonderful world of the working, you can purchase this and see what the latest standards are. Or you could search the web and save your money.
