5.0 out of 5 stars NEVER SEEN IT THIS GOOD, January 28, 2000

By

This review is from: 40 Minute Power Resume (Paperback)

Beverly Hill has, in my opinion written the BEST resume book I have ever seen. The design is wonderful, by the time you've read the book, you've written your resume. One of my favorite parts was the chapter on Resume Eliminators. It steers you clear of mistakes you might never have known you were making. And the Peanut Butter Principle! I never knew I could make myself look so good, and it's completley honest! What I really love about this book is it's not just a bunch of forms that everyone has seen a million times. It's a system, put down in a clear and simple manner that allows a person to write a truly exceptional resume, in a relativley short amount of time. And it's not a long, drawn out, boring, hard to read manual. It's easy, it's GREAT! Good for you Ms. Hill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Rehabilitative Alimony, February 13, 2000

By 

M.Katherine Ramers (Clearwater, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 40 Minute Power Resume (Paperback)

As a divorce attorney, I frequently encounter clients (generally women) who must reenter the work force or find better-paying jobs. At this time in their lives, they have low self-esteem and no idea where or how to start; therefore, I am constantly on the lookout for something that will assist them far more than the few months of rehabilitative alimony I might be able to wring out of their former spouses. Since coming across this book, I have recommended it to many clients. Ms. Hill's approach gives them confidence, direction, and the power to take control of their lives.
