Happy About My Resume: 50 Tips for Building a Better Document to Secure a Brighter Future Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very informative guide to developing a better resume. A few years ago I had a resume professionally prepared at no small expense. It was very well prepared but was dated and I wanted to update it. Rather than pay someone to do the work, I elected to do it myself. I bought this book and followed many of the suggestions the author recommended. The completed resume was shorter in length but offered more pertinent information on my abilities than my old professionally prepared resume. When I sent it to my executive search firm for review and use, they responded with the comment that it was one of the best executive resume's they have ever recieved.

The Secret to Getting a Job after College: Marketing Tactics to Turn Degrees into Dollars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this book as a graduation gift because the title really caught my attention and the fact that the author is a marketing professional that has worked on major accounts AND is a professor in a university made me feel that I have stumbled across the perfect gift. I know that recent college grads have the unfortunate task of overcoming the struggle to find their first job after college in a difficult job market. I think this book will help focus the graduate on what is essential to landing a job--and not repeating the typical advice that is often found in other job search books. I especially liked the chapter with the sample interview questions and answers. Chapter 3 is packed with useful info! That chapter alone was worth purchasing this book.
