5.0 out of 5 stars It's changed my response results dramatically, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Resumes That Knock 'Em Dead (3rd ed) (Paperback)

I haven't needed one of these books in years, and as its Amazon's #1 resume book I thought I'd give it a try. Made me re-think what i had to offer, and gave me lots of layouts and "power phrases to use. where i was getting 3=4 responses a month on my resume, I've had 12 on-line responses and five telephone interviews already. I'm scheduled for four in person interviews ion the coming two weeks. No offers yet, but based on this response I've just bought his Knock em dead interview book.

4.0 out of 5 stars no bull approach, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Resumes That Knock 'Em Dead (3rd ed) (Paperback)

I read through the early chapters and everything he said made sense, and without the hype you usually see by these career guys. Stole lots of great phrases and layout ideas from the examples. Got three offers in six weeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is your resume ready for the world?, October 3, 2000

By	Karen Girard (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Resumes That Knock 'Em Dead (3rd ed) (Paperback)

As a Host of the Employability and Career Planning sites, and an Interactive Resume workshop ... I like to have all kinds of Resume books and examples to refer to. No two resumes should be the same--this book gives great ideas on how to make YOUR experience stand out, not only in its wording, but also in the visual appeal.

The onlydrawback I found is that some of the sample resumes are a bit simplistic and if taken at face value, people may try to keep it so short that they don't consider all their skills. Remember, your resume is the first step to selling yourself.

Valuable reference to have around.

1.0 out of 5 stars Resumes are weak and one dimensional
These resumes are weak and better suited for a new college grad than someone who has been around a while. This and the Knock em Dead cover letter book are very weak. Read more
