Be prepared to re-write
I purchased this book about a year ago to assist in a job search I was doing. Initially, I was very excited; I felt the strategies made sense and the results were positive changes in my resume.Unfortunately, the recruiting industry may not be ready for this radical change in resume strategies. Nearly 100% of the people who responded to my resume submissions said "You have a great skill set, but I really need this resume re-done in a traditional, chronological style." Who knows how many never bothered to respond?
Some of the information in the book is valuable, especially the keyword mapping items, but it certainly is not worth the price tag.

These strategies work ...
Once I made the decision to move on I needed a little help in repacking my experience. This book not only helped me rethink my skill set but also expanded my horizons. I was able to make a substantial jump using some of Pontow's recommendations. I passed the book onto others looking to make a move. Well worth the $ ... and I'm happily on a new career path!
