Happy Customers Say:

Awesome book
I have applied to dozens of jobs in the past few months using a resume I though was great. I am very well qualified but did not recieve ANY calls.

I bought this book on Monday, today is Thursday, followed it step-by-step and sent out 6 resumes. Now I have 4 interviews next week.

I have read several books and spent countless hours on all the career advice sites and this book beats them all.

If you are looking for a new career, BUY THIS BOOK, you will not be sorry.

Honestly, the most useful resume book I’ve seen
The title seems a little cheesy but this really is a great book to help write a resume…

It tells you how to effectively use keywords in your resume for the age of Internet and electronic scanners that we live in today. Plus, it gives a huge list of “action verbs” to use, teaches you how to write a “resume headliner” to grab readers’ attention and how to use numbers and statistics effectively (even if you’re not in sales, business or accounting fields).

I could go on and on, this book is packed with tons of GOOD examples (broken down by job type and levels of experience) and other useful inforamtion that most other resume books don’t cover.

Top Notch Resume Book
This book is fabulous! Over the course of one day, I’ve taken my resume from super dull and boring to incredible! I had no idea how bad my resume was until I read this book. The book gives tons of advice on how to format your resume and up-to-date information on what to add to your resume, like ‘keywords.’ If you think your resume needs a facelift, get this book! I looked through many books at the bookstore before I selected this one and I’m confident I made the right choice!

If your resume is not getting the attention you want, maybe you are committing one of these seven deadly sins of resume writing.

 

Remember that recruiters and hiring managers will scan your resume for about 20-30 seconds to decide if it should be in the “keep” pile or the “no way” pile.  Take 15 minutes to scan your own resume and audit for these common resume writing mistakes.  

 

Carelessness

This goes without saying.  Do not be afraid to ask for help to proofread your resume.  Ask a friend, a colleague, family member, a professor or even a prior boss to help you check for errors.  There are also many online resources that offer free resume critiques and will catch errors you miss. 

 

Irrelevance

Remember that resumes are not supposed to necessarily chronicle everything you have ever done.  The goal instead is to package your most relevant experience and skills to suit the specific position in which you are interested.  Very few resumes need to go beyond two pages.  If you find yourself going beyond two pages check for relevance.

 

Lack of Clarity

Does your resume make a compelling argument, is clear, concise or to the point? Can the recruiter or hiring manager tell from your resume, what you really want?  Is there an objective that focuses the resume or are you wasting words on “resume speak”.
