2.0 out of 5 stars Not So Hot for Doctors...., August 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Resumes for the Health Care Professional (Paperback)

While I must admit I did not READ the entire book, I did give it a fairly thorough skimming. As a physician preparing to start my job search I found this book to be minimally useful. The cover boldly proclaims that the book contains model resumes for DOCTORS, etc. Truth is there is not a single model resume for a physician/doctor to be found in this book. From my point of view I really wanted give the book 1 star, but I suppose there is some useful information here for nurses, technicians, and others involved in health care. The false advertising on the cover really burns that part of me next to where I usually keep my wallet. M.D.'s and D.O.'s look elsewhere!

I found this book very helpful when revising my resume 3 years ago. I combined several of the styles presented to put together a very dynamic resume. A great investment for certain!
