Library Journal"These excellent new guides don’t just provide the usual coverage on how to write a resume. They provide industry-specific examples, industry-specific tips and cautions, and
industry-specific strategies based on real-world resumes. Since many technical types aren’t writers, this comes as a special gift; select a winning format, plug in your background specs, and
away you go. It’s that easy--with Real-Resumes in hand."-- The Midwest Book ReviewTestimonials from people who have successfully used this book:"Secretaries and administrative support people
