I really like this little book. One reason I like it is that it's not very long, so it's easily digestible, in a couple of sittings. At the same time, it provides tons of tips for writing the best resume possible. It even provides a number of examples of both good and "bad" resumes. Plus... there's a chapter on cover letters too. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, this book is a great place to start building your career library. I used it in the past & it helped me launch a new career!

I picked up this book used to get me started writing my first resume. It offered serveral examples of good resumes, along with a few bad. It also offered examples of cover letters. I found the book very informative. The introduction set a good foundation for me to focus on while writing the resume. I was very happy with the results and would definitely recommend this book.

it basically is a series of bad resumes and good resumes. No real direct help in terms of resume writing. Just read the whole thing and infer lessons from each example. I was more hoping to see some more direct information or advice. How to approach each section of a resume etc.

The information provided was general, however the samples will provide a first time resume writer with the basic outline to follow. The information in some samples, such as a housewife entering back into the work force, were a bit too hyped up to take seriously.

I have a job, but doubtful it's because of this book.

Seriously, this book is outdated and not on the cutting edge. Find something else.

Item was in perfect condition. Was very pleased with content. Would recommend others to this seller.

An excellent resource with all the tools you will need to get started on your job search. It is a must read primer those without a resume, first-time job seekers, or those who have been out of the market for a while.
