User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Same Stuff, Different Packaging
There are a great many innovative books out there on resume writing; this is not one of them. At this point, the only new approach to resume writing would be to make yourself a hologram of you speaking your resume–the formats in this book are just like everything else out there on the market. If you’ve looked at other books on resumes, you won’t need this one. If you’re new to the wonderful world of the working, you can purchase this and see what the latest standards are. Or you could search the web and save your money.
1 Stars I had a few problems with this book
I’m a professional resume writer; I purchased this book among others as a resource. I was disappointed for three main reasons: 1) most of the resumes were written in very traditional formats; nothing clever or innovative 2) the same style seems to be used over and over…each one looks like a template 3) my biggest complaint is the lack of a resume index. There are 37 resume examples but no where in this book can you find out which page relates to healthcare, IT or manufacturing. Therefore, you have to flip through every single resume to find the industry or position you are seeking. Not user-friendly at all! I finally took the time to categorize each resume myself, print out my own index and tape it inside the book cover. However, I haven’t really even used this book as a reference…I really don’t recommend this one at all.
4 Stars Well Done
Your book is excellent - I like the layout….topnotch resume samples…and find that I am in complete alignment with your methodology and recommendations. After having spent several years in the “outplacement” business, it’s exciting to read a book on this topic that “gets it” and is not cookie-cutter. Thank you for your contribution.
4 Stars Many styles to choose from
This book gives many, many examples of resume styles. Nothing new or innovative in the text of the book. Very helpful for someone that wants a fresh look to the same boring resume style.
5 Stars What a resource!
I like this book and found it very helpful! The chapter overviews, worksheets and sample resumes are terrific. The Appendix is rich with information. The quotes add a nice touch.
