About this title

From the Author

A best-selling book with numerous favorable reviews
This is a best-selling book that has received numerous highly favorable reviews. The first chapter takes you systematically (by the numbers) through the preparation of a highly-effective, proven resume format --- one resume component at a time. It tells you what the component should contain (or exclude), explains why, and how to say it for greatest impact. The ideal, model resume shown here has been used successfully by thousands of job seekers (who have gone through my consulting firm's outplacement program) with great success. It is therefore a proven format, known to get results.

The balance of the book then contains 175 high-impact resume samples (carefully hand selected from over 5,000 actual resumes), and modified to conceal the identity of the original author. By organizing these by business discipline (e.g., sales, marketing, engineeering, etc.), it should allow the reader to quickly find resumes that relate to their own career interests.

Although the 175 sample resumes contained in the book may deviate somewhat from the ideal resume format strongly recommneded in Chapter 1 (e.g., many do not contain objective statements and should) these resume samples should prove very helpful in illustrating how others in similar occupations to those of the reader have effectively described their jobs and key accomplishmnets, making it easy for the reader to model their own resume accordingly.

I think you will find this a very practical, useful guide that (if followed) will help you almost automatically prepare a highly professional and effective resume. Thousands of others have used it with a great deal of success.

Happy resume writing, and I wish you great success with your job search!!
