From amature to professional in one book
before I bought this book I had a resume that I had 10% confidence in. Now in 24 short hours I have created a document that I have 110% confidence in. This book is a must have for anyone who wants to improve their resume without paying a professional to do it. Great as a graduation gift. Filled in the gaps where the educational system fell short.

sticking to basics
According to Ireland, not much has changed in the resume field. This is good news for those of us who have long preached the two-page maximum, perfectly written, future-oriented document. She takes you through the basics, explaining the different sections and your options in formatting. There is a good, non-intimidating section on e-resumes. The sample resumes are adequate and interesting to read. Ireland has done a fine job on writing a basic guide for the inexperienced or reluctant resume-writer.

A good resource on resumes
