>> Good old library book
I like the book it s helpful in many ways I particularly like the lists of useful action words and the examples of resumes and cover letters That s why I bought it It goes a little deep into the internet part of job searches but perhaps thats useful for some people
>> For Smart Folks Too
This book offers an excellent overview on what it takes to get a resume together and prep for an interview And it s not just for newbies either
Joyce Lain Kennedy and her team provide everything from resume formats and layouts to samples for several popular jobs Included are URLs for corporate sites that practice good online staffing pages how to write tight objectives and summaries a collection of gotta have wow words eye catching keywords that sharpen a resume suggestions on how to say it with numbers percentages and even dollar amounts and perhaps the best part a must have 10 Point Resume Checklist
I m in the editing business and found this book a valuable addition to my library And you can t beat the price on Amazon
>> Same Old Kindle Problems Graphics Tables and Formatting
Don t get me wrong this could be a great book and probably is in hard copy i love my Kindle but looking at washed out graphics of guess what resumes on a gray background is more than disappointing It makes no sense when you can t read what is on the page I just can t understand why a book on style and polish of maybe the most important document has such a poor layout with respect to tables lists and graphics Come on Amazon you need to get this right With 16 shades of grey/black why not pick one where you can pull the text of the graphics out of the picture There is nothing more annoying than reading two pages describing a great idea referring to an example and having to imagine what it was you were supposed to see
Come on Amazon try reading the books you sell
Get the more expensive hard copy of this book because this edition is almost unuseable
