5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, the most useful resume book I've seen, May 1, 2007
The title seems a little cheesy but this really is a great book to help write a resume...

It tells you how to effectively use keywords in your resume for the age of Internet and electronic scanners that we live in today. Plus, it gives a huge list of "action verbs" to use, teaches you how to write a "resume headliner" to grab readers' attention and how to use numbers and statistics effectively (even if you're not in sales, business or accounting fields).

I could go on and on, this book is packed with tons of GOOD examples (broken down by job type and levels of experience) and other useful inforamtion that most other resume books don't cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book, July 3, 2008
I have applied to dozens of jobs in the past few months using a resume I though was great. I am very well qualified but did not recieve ANY calls.

I bought this book on Monday, today is Thursday, followed it step-by-step and sent out 6 resumes. Now I have 4 interviews next week.

I have read several books and spent countless hours on all the career advice sites and this book beats them all.

If you are looking for a new career, BUY THIS BOOK, you will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Resume Book, December 23, 2007
This book is fabulous! Over the course of one day, I've taken my resume from super dull and boring to incredible! I had no idea how bad my resume was until I read this book. The book gives tons of advice on how to format your resume and up-to-date information on what to add to your resume, like 'keywords.' If you think your resume needs a facelift, get this book! I looked through many books at the bookstore before I selected this one and I'm confident I made the right choice!
