• I'm not too proud to admit it - my resume has never looked so good..
  When I called Borders, the salesperson told me that this was the most popular book purchased by the most people (for resume building). I've seen quite a few and had a very good resume. Still, I wanted to kick it up a knotch. After just a short period of time revising my resume using this book, my resume has never looked so good. Wish I could give it 10 stars.

• A good solid resume book
  No resume knocks anyone dead, but this book generally gives good advice on how to write one. In Yate's resume samples you'll sometimes see lists and bullet lists that are too long for anyone but a computer to sift through, and some of the sample resumes are a bit crowded, but all-in-all, the content is very useful. If you've thought through what kind of work you want and know who your targeted employers are, this is a good solid resume book.
  

• Middle of the road...
  I didn't find any new, earth-shattering insights into the resume process, but it did layout the fundamentals nicely. I learned a few new things, and it gave me a good outline to put together a resume.
  The section that describes how to pull the resume information together, would have been presented better had it been in some sort of a chart or list format. The way it is set up - it is wrtten in long sentences that stretch over a couple pages. I had to keep flipping back and forth to remember what step to... more info

• Too General and Elementary
  Book offers too simplistic and barely entry-level formatting and ideas. The styles were all basic and not varied enough, and the jobs were all low level. I am a marketing director and the upper level resumes they had were still so basic they were not useful as examples. Might be good for high school students, though.
