Excellent book that gave results!!!
I bought this book for me, but ended up using it to provide some feedback on a coworker's resume and got fantastic results. I almost completely re-wrote his resume, and apparently he liked it because he used most of it and landed one of the first jobs he applied for! (though he is a great guy with good qualifications)

I chose this particular book because it covers all of the bases and has practical advice on crafting a great resume. It includes information on the types of resumes (chronological, functional) and C.V.'s (both scientific and academic) and the basic content and length for each. There are also brief sections on cover letters, business cards and job searches.

The best strength of this book is the exercises it provides for writing the "experience" section and selling yourself. The exercises were easy to follow, thought-provoking and allowed me to emphasize and extol my coworker's best qualities (hopefully I can do the same for myself when it comes time!) I came away with text that really had some "punch" to it. I also used the sample resumes in the back to find a format that made the best information pop out visually. It really made the resume look professional and impressive.

The book also answers a number of general questions about resumes and what should and should not be included. It is easy-to-read and contains a good amount of information without being overwhelming. (You want to write a good resume, but don't want to have to read 500 pages before starting!!!)

Overall, I think this is a fantastic book and would definitely recommend it to others since I was impressed that even me (an engineer and terrible writer) could come up with a resume good enough to impress my coworker!!!

Extremely helpful
Keeping it short. If you are in the market or thinking about being on the market, worth the investment. Diverse and informative.
