3.0 out of 5 stars VGM Misses the Point, November 19, 2000
By 
Kyle H (Anchorage, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resumes for Banking and Financial Careers (Vgm's Professional Resumes Series) (Paperback)
It is not surprising that this book is about 70% sample resumes. However, only about 1 in 10 resumes focused on the type of individual who would need this guide the most: students graduating college. Most of the resume examples were of CFO's, Executive officers and others with lots of experience. This book had very little insight in how to structure your resume to be set apart from the other 10,000 graduates looking for the same jobs. The sample cover letters posed the same problem with only about 5 out of the 30 or so letters from college graduates. The rest was coming from executives looking to change jobs. For people already established who haven't touched their own resume in 30 years, this book may be helpful, but for those of us who are trying to tweek our resume to stand out, this book is not very helpful and you most surely will get your 13 bucks worth.

4.0 out of 5 stars good source of sample resumes, October 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Resumes for Banking and Financial Careers (Vgm's Professional Resumes Series) (Paperback)
This book is a good source of sample finance resumes. Other good and recommended resources for finance careers are the Vault Guide to the Top Finance Firms, the Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking, and the Vault Guide to Finance Interviews. Also try the harvard guide to finance careers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful guide, November 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Resumes for Banking and Financial Careers (Vgm's Professional Resumes Series) (Paperback)
This book is quite useful for a finance job search. Another good guide on the subject is the Vault Reports Guide to Investment Banking, which includes actual finance interview questions and answers.
