Customer Reviews

very light on use content - other resumme books are better
I got this book to redo my resume. In the process I ordered a few resume books to get some different prespectives. In the end, this book was the one I wish I didn't spend the money on. All of the examples are very similar. Despite the fact there is some commentary on how many interviews each specific resume got, it does not go into any detail on why it performed the way it did. I highly recommend you save your money and invest it in "Resume Magic" which I found to be the best all around resume book of the ones I purchased.

Very good guide
The book had very good examples of resumes and a good step by step process. The worksheets were helpful and provided a good outline to focus my thinking.

A Good Reference for Executive Resume
This is one of the better executive resume reference book I had come across. If you are in the transition to your mid-career, and is having trouble to put your career in a bigger picture so that people can understand, then the author has done a wonderful job in offering you examples and insights on how to put things in order - from an employer perspective.

The only drawback of this book is probably only the 'repetitive' phrases and approaches the author used. The examples in the book, claimed by the author, were real-life examples created either by him or his staff. Therefore, as you read through the book you will find similarities in almost all the resumes. Though this is understandable, I personally think this can be improved somewhat.

In terms of usefulness in refernce, I would have given this a 5-star. In terms of value, I will have to settle for a 4-star rating.
