2 Stars Don’t waste your money
This book was probably very good about 10 years ago. However, companies now use the Internet, Electronic Resumes and specific software to look for qualified applicants. This book touches maybe 2 pages on this new approach to job hunting. To be competitive you need to know how to follow the technological revolution of electronic resumes. If you plan to work for a mom and pop company the old style would probably suffice but if your looking to work for a Fortune 500 company forget it!
5 Stars very helpful in the job search
I am planning on changing careers, so I have been reading everything I can on resume writing. This book helped me focus the attention on my unique skills and how to market them to potential employers. I have revised my resume since reading the book (which comes with questions to help you find your strengths). Truthfully, I haven’t gotten a job offer, but that most likely is due to my location, which is several hundred miles from my present location. I intend to look up Haldane and Assoc. when I get to New Jersey. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to re-market him/herself.
