Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This witty and engaging how-to manual will appeal not only to those running resume - writing services but also to the throng of job seekers constantly looking for clever ways to market themselves to potential employers. Resume-writing maven Parker ( The Damn Good Resume Guide , Ten Speed Pr., 1989) has combined such practical advice for professional resume writers as how to calculate fees and how to market themselves with a host of tips designed to aid both writers and their clients. Parker counsels white-collar workers as well as more neglected populations, such as immigrants, the homeless, and prison inmates. Advice from resume writers and job counselors and a plethora of sample resumes round out this fine book. Recommended for both small business and general career-services collections.

This review is from: Resume Pro: Make Money Writing Resumes (Paperback)
Yana's "Resume Pro" is a great resume writing business guide resource for both "newbies" and "oldsters" alike! I was a seasoned writer when I first read this book...and yet I found numerous helpful ideas and suggestions. Simply a "must have" for the beginning resume writer's library! -Mary Roberts, CPRW

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Resume Pro: Make Money Writing Resumes (Paperback)
There is some useful information, but a lot of it is dated. The problem is, there are very few books on starting a resume writing business, so beggars can't be choosers!
