 its simple, the objective is to get invited to the interview Oct 09, 2006
By Humberto Mejia
"Still alive and kicking"
This is a great book that can help you be positioned at the top of the file for the interview.
Whatever your skills or expertice, if it does not draw attention you run the risk of being ignored. yet, how many of us are into copy techniques? I have been in sales all my life, and to sell myself in a resume manner was a tough assignment. Im glad this book gives you the insights and the tips to tailor your abilities to what you are truly looking for, this is what is good about it, honest work with yourself to convey the right marketing.
results? even phone interviews from Australia.

Look more clearly at your own strengths and skills Sep 15, 2007
By J. P. Kelley
By using the suggestions for organizing and presenting information in this book, I have a whole new appreciation for the things I've managed to accomplish over the years. Nearing retirement age, with five successful careers behind me and another just starting up, I still found little niches of self-defeating behavior, ways in which I was emphasizing the wrong thing or ignoring key accomplishments.
More than just a guide to resumes, this book helped me see that the new career change will bring my work life a lot closer to my core values; and it showed me clearly how to be successful from the very start.

The only resource you'll need - this book covers EVERYTHING Mar 16, 2009
By A.P.
A month ago my department of 33 people was notified that our work would be decentralized throughout our company. Regardless of if we were interviewing internally or externally, we all needed to update our resumes.
After volunteering to review my colleagues' resumes I searched the internet for some pointers and found Resume Magic. I purchased Resume Magic that same afternoon and it has been open on my desk ever since.
Resume Magic includes *everything* I needed help with - and things I hadn't thought of! Examples of different formatting options, lists of action verbs, impact mining exercises, how to address issues with education, and especially the before/after examples have been tremendously helpful. I was able to take a boring page of bulleted lists of previous job responsibilities and turn it into an enticing profile that told the story of employment, highlighting unique nuances of skills that offered an employer a colorful, complete picture of the employees' qualifications.
Resume Magic provides a comprehensive, practical guide to resume writing. Having solid, good looking, effective resumes has done wonders for the confidence (and future employment!) of my team.

 Convoluted and jumps around, but provides decent reference Jan 25, 2010
By Erica Frank
"PerfectlyFrank"
If there's a section of your resume you would like to fine-tune, this is a decent book to go to. But if starting from scratch, beware.
The following sentence describes the book in the same style the book describes resumes: this book inundates the reader with hundreds of ways to put together pieces of a resume with all steps jumbled together it doesn't work well as a lamp and no formatting advice for start to finish potato keywords ^Y)). possibly useful for baking.
Exaggerated, but just a little.
Having access to multiple resume ideas wouldn't be a problem if the reading was more linear, but since things are jumpy it's hard to tell which advice applies to what you want. The book has innovative ideas, which I like, but that can do more damage than good in this field. And with all the in-depth information on different subjects, the chapter on formatting doesn't give any step-by-step examples of making a resume (or section) from start to finish. Just a limited and unorganized listing of how to do certain things.
Hundreds of pages and dozens of hours into the book, I eventually tossed it and found better advice online. If you want to slow somebody down on their resume process, possibly frustrating them into eternal unemployment, give them this book.

This is a MUST have! May 16, 2008
By NaNaYa
"Neo Chittlin Jazz"
The is quite simply the best book on resume writing I've ever read. I've worked in HR for over 20 years, and I've never seen anything like this. Well worth the money. So far, I've used this book to write four resumes for family and friends, all of which have resulted in jobs.
If I could have given this book 7 stars, I would have.
