4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and logical, April 24, 2002
This review is from: The Resume Kit, 4th Edition (Paperback)
THE RESUME KIT is a great book that covers its topics in a very straightforward and conservative way. It contains everything you need to know, with a short section on cover letters, and doesn't include risky suggestions. Rather, he explains the risks of certain strategies, and why some strategies seem like good ideas, but aren't. There are many great sample resumes and it's really just a very comprehensive and useful book.
