This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Big Red Book of Resumes (Paperback)

Don't pay for a book on resumes. Google it. There are many good websites out there on writing resumes and writing...in general. Not specialists in resume-writing, but a bunch of editors out to make a quick buck so buy my online writing class to learn to write. I make a full-time living as a freelance writer and writing teacher.
