Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Asher, president of Resume Righters in San Francisco, assumes his readers are intelligent, sufficiently motivated, can write reasonable sentences, and know what they want to do. He stresses that "you must know what you want to do next to succeed. You will not succeed if you do not." To career-oriented readers armed with definite goals, Asher offers brevity, clear thinking, and good sense; job hunters unsure of the next step are directed to an annotated bibliography of career materials. Asher's methods encourage clear and concise writing quickly, if not overnight, and his good humor and the 15 delightful cartoons that punctuate the book make resume writing a less agonizing experience. As a case in point, his resume for Ernie the alley cat is proof positive that a resume can be created for virtually any background. Highly recommended for all resume collections.

This review is from: The Overnight Resume: The Fastest Way to Your Next Job! (Paperback)
This book doesn't "talk down" to you, isn't a "soul-searching" resume book, and helps you crank out a good-looking resume in a day.
