For anyone who has to quickly learn how to correctly format and send an electronic resume, this book has the instructions in a clear, concise and step-by-step style. The narrative and concept presentation make a technical aspect of resume preparation easy to read and simple to learn. In my work as a career counsellor, I find that many job seekers, including the "computer literate" individuals, often ask themselves why they hadn't received any responses to their emailed resumes. This book explains and demonstrates how to strategically ensure that targetted employers receive and consider your eresume.

This book has some good information, but most of it is so ridiculously simple, that it can easily be ignored. Only buy this book if you know nothing about computers. The book spends about 10 pages discussing how to save a Word Document as a text file. This includes pictures of the "File Menu" and pictures of clicking on "Save As". Another "on-point" section discusses how to use the "Copy" and "Paste" commands.

As I stated, only buy this book if you are computer illiterate.

This book is very useful if you know nothing about computers. However for the rest of us, this book is useless and outdated. Even the screenshots in this book are from Windows 95. Feel free to check it out in your local library but I don't recommend buying it. (No, it's not even for a penny)
