This is the best resume help book I've ever read! Since I've held six jobs in the last 10 years, I've searched for ways to present my employment history in a way that will not EXCLUDE me from the interview process, and this book has the answer to that problem! Additionally, it shows, with concrete examples, how to write about your accomplishments in a way that will help capture interviews, not rejection letters. And, getting interviews is the whole point of the resume writing process, afterall.

If you need help making your resume stand out from the crowd, then I recommend you check out this book!

After browsing numerous books on the art of resume writing, I decided to give Mr. Marcus a chance, and ordered this book from Amazon.com. I was very pleased with my decision, which was a right one. The book not only explains how to put yourself in the best possible light despite various shortcomings, but explains in detail how to write the various entries of a resume, and why. The book also contains many creative suggestions that will make your resume stand out in a stack, and includes numerous examples that highlight the points made.

Since this is geared towards transforming troublesome resumes, if you drop the info here and samples into an updated format, sans objective and references available, for example, then there are still some valuable nuggets to be found for those difficult and unusual work histories, that seem to be more commonplace today in light of rampant layoffs, downsizing, and necessity to job-hop.
