An excellent bare-bones resume book that gave me a lot of ideas of different ways to format my resume to attract attention.
Rating: 5 / 5
An absolutely outstanding book. Cuts through the bull and presents its information clearly and concisely. The examples are top notch. This book is easily worth 3 times what it cost me. Thanks!

This book will help you write a cover letter and resume that will get you in the door. The rest is up to you. There are examples of both good and bad resumes along with a realistic step by step guide to building a resume. This book is good for a first time resume writer, but it is especially good for someone who hasn’t been on the job market in awhile. You will be able to send your resume out with confidence.
