Customer Reviews

This book is a must have for resume writers and job seekers.

Noble's Gallery Is Noble!
David Noble's second edition (I look forward to his third edition) is comprehensive indeed with over 400 pages of sample resumes and cover letters, encompassing a broad spectrum of occupations. Footnote comments are especially helpful to job-seekers who wish to develop their own documents, and the ample gallery of sample works offers even seasoned resume writers fresh ideas in creating form diversity and distinctiveness when considering a client's unique values, personality, and accomplishments in the developmental process.

"Before" and "after" resume comments are helpful and reveal flaws that may not be readily apparent to the novice, and even subtle errors could sink the candidate when found before a seasoned recruiter's eyes.

While most samples are combination style formats, perhaps a few more samples of chronological and functional styles would be helpful to those whose backgrounds fit these categories.

Noble's "Gallery of Best Resumes" is excellent, and I recommend that serious resume writers keep a current desk copy available for ready reference, and be sure to order a copy for your resource library.

Not a how-to book
Not exactly a how-to book for the novice. If you have decent writing skills and a pretty good idea what you are doing already, then this is an excellent resource for ideas and templates. I would highly recommend it for someone like me, a long-time front line employee that has moved into management and seriosly needed to upgrade his resume. For those type of people it is definitely 5 stars.
