5 Stars Better Than Rehabilitative Alimony
As a divorce attorney, I frequently encounter clients (generally women) who must reenter the work force or find better-paying jobs. At this time in their lives, they have low self-esteem and no idea where or how to start; therefore, I am constantly on the lookout for something that will assist them far more than the few months of rehabilitative alimony I might be able to wring out of their former spouses. Since coming across this book, I have recommended it to many clients. Ms. Hill’s approach gives them confidence, direction, and the power to take control of their lives.
5 Stars The best book for writing a resume.
As an HR professional, I’ve read a lot of resumes and over the years I’ve written them for myself as well. I have found that the use of “buzz” words and how these resumes are written catches the recruiters attention much better the the average resume. This is probably the 10th copy of this book I have purchased. I give them out to those looking for jobs and there are several copies in my professional library. This book not only tells you how to write an effective resume but gives you samples of buzz words and phrases. An excellent reference book.
5 Stars An outstanding “how to” resume building guide.
In 40 Minute Power Resume, Beverly Hill shows how to create a personal resume that truly separates and showcases your talents, skills, and abilities from those of others. She guides you through the construction of an effective and distinctive resume through a simple step-by-step processes in easy-to-understand language, while enabling you to highlight your own diverse accomplishments and experience in an competent and professional manner. This “hands on” manual provides resume writing insights and practical examples of professional resume building that will prove invaluable for those newly entertaining the job market, anyone who is re-entering the job market after an absence for family or schooling, as well as those seeking to improve their career opportunities through transferring to a more challenging, lucrative, or career advancing position elsewhere.
5 Stars Battle Tested and PASSED!
I took a seminar with her group when AAA National downsized. (The book was the parachute!) It requires dedication to work your way through it but the payoff is worth it. Do it, it’s an investment in yourself.
5 Stars I Am Killer Resume — Be Afraid!
WORD-UP!
Having recently purchased 16 books on the subject and a professional in the field, I suggest you’ll be in deep trouble if one of your competitors reads this book before you.
It is, at once, the supreme effort on the market.
Best you read it FIRST and learn what makes a “rez-u-may” SELL. (You’ll also learn to love “Peanut Butter Sandwiches”.)
For those intensely serious about a great resume, I suggest two additional five-star books:
1. “Gallery of Best Resumes” by David Noble. Terrific examples of excellent layout and design.
2. “Resumes for Dummies” by Joyce Kennedy. All around good advice.
Follow the suggestions in these three books and you’ll consistently write a winning resume.
Remember, “WORDS” can change your life.
Don’t think so? Here are some that will: “Watch Out!”, “Call 911!”, “Earthquake!”, “Guess What.”, “I Want Volunteers.”, “We’re Downsizing.”, and “I Do.”
Still don’t think so? Unless you’re brain-dead, THESE WORDS will:
“Here’s Your Pink Slip.” “Where’s My Parachute?” “I Need A Job.” “What time can you come in for an interview?”, and
“YOU’RE HIRED!”
When you hear the above, it’s a right proper time to suddenly “Go Forth And Put Asunder”.
Brandish & Vanquish with your secret weapon known as “My Killer Resume”.
All competitors shall Be Afraid!
