I used this book to obtain the position in my organization that became available after 15 years. I not only used this book to bring my resume up to par but also utilized Robin Ryan’s “Winning Cover Letters” and “60 Seconds and You’re Hired.” I’ve recommended these books to at least six other individuals; four have landed their jobs!!! You have to take the time to follow the “mining” techniques but it is well worth the effort. And the suggestions on cover letters are right on the mark. I have had the opportunity within the last couple of months to fill three positions in my company and after reviewing hundreds of cover letters, I now realize how important a concise, to the point cover letter will make or break you.

Although I purchased this book after graduating college (over six years ago, now), I still find it useful on a regular basis. I have been able to use this as a reference book again and again, not only when applying for jobs, but also when reviewing others’ resumes for hiring purposes, and when updating my own. This resource is far more helpful than many other resume books out there. It does not just give a list of “target” words. It shows you layout, wording, phrasing, what to add on, what to omit. I highly recommend this for everyone needing to (re)create their resume, not just for first time writers!

I’ve read through this book and applied the lessons in it to develop various resumes for the jobs I’ve applied to with good results. The before and after of my resume shows an amazing difference, as well as my approach to applying to jobs and interviewing for them. It is all about gearing your presentation to the job at hand, and this also applies to the interview process. e.g. I was offered a math faculty chair position at a local community college, gotten interviews for excellent jobs, etc. Right now I’m happy with my current gig until I continue my education. I recommend its no-nonsense approach.

If you don’t know where to start with your resume, this book is one of the resources you should consider before putting pen to paper. It covers all the areas of resume writing, with plenty of do’s and don’ts. Resumes are important and set the tone of your job search. Robin Ryan shows how to make the most of your efforts. The 53 common mistakes were helpful and amusing. I enjoyed the book.
