This review is from: Complete Book of Resumes: Simple Steps for Writing a Powerful Resume (Paperback)
This book was great. To be honest, I started reading the book and got a little bored with it so I skipped to the back and just used the examples. The examples are GREAT. I was able to find an example that fit me perfectly. I have gotten some great jobs with my resume. If you are like me and would rather skip the reading and go straight to the examples, this is definitely the book for you.
