User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars I can’t believe I’m the first person to review this book
I own 3 other books on resume-writing that got good reviews on Amazon.com, but they never got me an interview. “Amazing Resumes”, however, made resume-writing really simple, and even enjoyable. The authors, Bright & Earl, don’t assume you have 30 years of experience or a college degree, even if you do. It’s designed for anybody to use, even a 16-year old looking for his or her first part-time after-school job. They help you play up what you have under your belt, and tailor each resume to each job you’re applying for. It’s an awesome book. And there’s not a lot to read, either. The authors get straight to the point. I got 3 interviews just last week by using this book as my guide. I hope this review puts “Amazing Resumes” on Amazon’s radar.
5 Stars Detailed, Fun, and Motivating
I love this book! It got me thinking about my resume again in ways I never had before. The information is very current and fun to read. There are several detailed, step-by-step instructions that are quite easy to adapt and plenty of examples. Several before-and-after critiques as well. Both my girlfriend and I have used this book with a lot of success. Definitely worth a purchase!
