This is a great book where you can learn a ton about marketing and communicating to whoever what you are all about. Resume's are about the fit of your credentials and experiences and how you will FIT into the position that you may fill. Amazingly simple and concrete solutions for those who are already out of school and have some form of experience. This book will help you organize and sort how to ensure that you are placing appropriate information for the position. You will need to write different resume's for different positions. Also, this book seems long however, this is not that long since more than half the book is examples of the resume's you can look to for guidance. Consider this a good buy.

THE RESUME KIT is a great book that covers its topics in a very straightforward and conservative way. It contains everything you need to know, with a short section on cover letters, and doesn't include risky suggestions. Rather, he explains the risks of certain strategies, and why some strategies seem like good ideas, but aren't. There are many great sample resumes and it's really just a very comprehensive and useful book.
