1.0 out of 5 stars
nothing but useless examples!,
By noyb "noyb" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resumes for Engineering Careers (Paperback)
Avoid this book. It contains nothing but the most basic resume writing tips, and at that, they are very outdated. Exerpt: "Though there may be instances where you deliver your resume in person, usually you send it through the mail." Have any of you actually mailed your resume out, at least before this economic setback? No, of course we've been emailing them for years. The 20 pages of this book (1/8 of the total) that actually talk about resume tips are very similar, as if the only reason this book has a copyright in 2000 is for the dates on the sample resumes - the rest is straight out of the 80's. I expect much more from a book targetted for engineers. This MIGHT be appropriate for much less technical positions.

This review is from: Resumes for Engineering Careers (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping it would help me with my resume. The example resumes are terrible. You can get better resume writing advice for free from many university career center websites.
