User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Quick and Useful
Great tool to have when putting together a resume! I liked that the formats were broken down with bullet points which made it easy to read and refer back to. The examples were extremely helpful as well as having the list of common action verbs in the back - sometimes coming up with the right words is the hardest part. Most resume books you can buy in the store are 3-4 times bigger and it’s often overwhelming to know where to start with them. This book, however, is a nice quick reference guide with as much great information and at a reasonable price!
5 Stars Informative, Yet Simple
I found this book very easy to use and it provided me with a lot of information in a rather convenient way. It answered my questions on the different styles of resumes and how I should organize and present my credentials. Definitely recommend this to any job seeker!
5 Stars Informative, easy to follow guide
This book is great! It has a lot of information, everything necessary for creating a professional resume. The book is also very easy to follow, which I especially like. Anyone could create a resume using it.
It tells you the information to use to get employers to look at your resume (and what to leave out).
5 Stars Painless read, Powerful results!
I definitely recommend this book! It saved me time and frustration as it’s really to the point and didn’t overwhelm me with verbose information I didn’t need. (Which creates a great price break in shipping!) I was driven to this book with the knowledge that its earlier editions had created great success in landing interviews for people I know. This new version helped me to learn how to best navigate search engines to get my resume out - and even how to proceed with prospective employers once I do!
5 Stars Easy, Succinct and Gave Me Control
This book is well-organized, easy to follow, on point and provides great examples! Other books I’ve tried were confusing and verbose. These writers not only have the answers, but also anticipate the questions. Their website AskHRS.com provides more valuable career guidance information, too!
