I contacted with the seller, reminding him/her to send the book, after 2-3 weeks, a few days later, I was told I would recerve it. But, until now, I am still kept waiting.

Although the concept of competence-based resumes is very useful in the current job search environment, this book is infuriatingly written. It is reminescent of those “how to draw a face” tutorials of my childhood: Step 1 – a circle; Step 2 – add two lines for the nose and mouth; Step 3 – Mona Lisa. The example resumes provided were useful, but the text descriptions of how to get there were inane. Moreover, this is useful but not at all the revolutionary concept the authors describe. Recommended only if you pick it up at a used book store.

Robin Kessler’s work with Linda Strasburg has produced an extremely concise, well researched and *VERY* useful guide for any job seeker. This book is suitable for the new college graduate or the seasoned executive and all in between.
I was impressed by how quickly I was able to understand and implement the techniques and suggestions for taking my average resume and transforming it into a superior showcase of my competencies. I feel confident that my new resume best reflects the total picture of what I offer to potential employers and other contacts.
I highly recommend this book and suggest you do not delay in using the methods and suggestions contained within to make an improvement in how you show yourself to the world.

I regularly use this book in my career coaching and recommend it without hesitation to my clients – invaluable guide for job seekers and well worth the investment! If you follow the guidelines in this and ‘Competency Based Interviews’ you will get results!

Since I have applied Ms. Kessler’s innovative approach to my own resume, I have been selected to interview for each senior level position I have submitted for. Now the rest is up to me. I highly recommend both her books, they provide the most current techniques in competency-based and behavioral approaches to resume writing and the interview process. The format is clear and concise with excellent real-life examples across a variety of industries. A must resource!
