By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Resumes and Cover Letters That Have Worked: For Professionals, for College Graduates, for People Changing Careers (Anne McKinney Career) (Paperback)
Let me tell you something I really thought that the book was much better help
to write an awsome resume being that I am looking for a job, but is not, is just a regular book w/ few samples of resumes and that's it. It doesn't tell or show you how to write a really impressive resume. I am dissapointed w/ this purchase, my money was not well spend. If I could return it I will.
