This is the best book to have when you are unemployed. I like it so much, I am sending a copy to my brother, now that he needs it. The book has excellent tips on what fonts to use, phrases and methods to avoid and information for interviewing. It covers the whole gamut with usefull information that really does work. You may think content on your resume is the most important, but getting it noticed is actually greater. If you use the wrong font or paper type(ie. gawdy flourescent colors), you will supply a potential employer with shredder fodder. The book warns you of these pitfalls and what should be included for highest probability of actually being read. I found, after using numerous items sugested, that I was getting much more response, when sending the resume to potential employers. I was also given many compliments on the composition and overall look of the resume. Granted, no resume can get you a job if you can't back it up, but the guidelines set forth in this book will get it looked at, and that is the beginning of the game. I have been with my present company for almost three years, after taking nine months to get employment. I can safely say that I do believe in the tips in this book, and if I need another job, will go through it again-cover to cover. Give copies to your friends that need jobs and you will help them out as best you can, second to actually getting them hired yourself. Good hunting.
