 Happy About My resume Jul 27, 2010
By Dale A. Darrough
"Sky Raider"
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.

Prepare to Take On The World Dec 08, 2008
By Joshua Estrin -The Anti Expert
"fairandsquare"
Direct, action oriented, easy to read and not a book full of buzz words that don't really mean anything - This book focused on the concrete not the cliche. Even if you THINK you know it all you might need a reminder.
Great book, easy to read - Perfect to have on the shelf as a reference
Shut Up! and Listen to Yourself

Very informative and useful tips Jun 26, 2011
By DC
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is considering drafting or revising their resume. I honestly wish I had come across something this easy to read when I came out of college a few years ago as it likely would have made my job search easier. Reading this book on my Kindle app has given me a number of ideas to incorporate into my resume and I can already see a dramatic improvement. I never really thought that much about highlighting my accomplishments due to fear of coming across as boasting but Ms. Safani wrote logical responses to ease the concerns I had. I definitely feel more confident about sending my resume out to companies and recruiters should the need arise.
