4 Stars Good Overall Reference
I purchased this book for my niece when she was graduating from college. She found it very useful. I am also now in the market for a new job and borrowed the book from her and have enjoyed it so much that I am purchasing my own copy. There is a lot of good recommendations on how to keep your resume short and concise. It also provides different examples for a variety of positions. The one drawback I had was that it didn’t make reference to including email addresses and web sites.
4 Stars Applicability of the book
The staff at our office were thrilled to receive their copy of this book and began using it right away. They all feel it is a helpful addition to the office reference library.
