5.0 out of 5 stars Real Examples are a plus, February 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Killer Investment Banking Resumes! The WetFeet Insider Guide (Paperback)

I'm finding the "real life" examples of resumes in this guide--the before and after versions of each--to be extremely useful in improving my resume. I've passed my updated version by a few friends who are in the I-banking industry and they've given me a thumbs up. It's much easier to show my cleaned up resume to my buddies rather than hand them something that they have to slog through and pick apart. Definitely a guide worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effective Industry-Specific Information, February 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Killer Investment Banking Resumes! The WetFeet Insider Guide (Paperback)

This guide was really informative and easy to follow. It provided plenty of resume examples to go off of, and each example was specifically geared towards I-banking. This was much more effective than trying to model your resume after examples that are totally unrelated to what you're going after.

5.0 out of 5 stars cheaper than a career counseler, April 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Killer Investment Banking Resumes! The WetFeet Insider Guide (Paperback)

This guide is good for people new on the consulting scene who aren't quite sure how to structure or what to include on their resumes. I ended up going to a career counseler to get professional help on my resume and they pretty much told me everything I had already learned from this guide.
