Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-23 00:00:00![]() I actually found this book helpful. It is set up as an easy reference, with lots of samples to illustrate the talking points. The point is to help job seekers get their information across in a time-sensitive way, rather than encouraging analysis paralysis as many books seem to do for me. I didn't read every word, but I took the highlights that I thought were pertinent to me and found them. Having worked in the resume and cover letter writing industry, many of the tips here felt like common sense. However, everyone needs a refresher now and then, and this was a good one. |
Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-19 00:00:00![]() The author made a few points that I hadn't considered, but generally speaking, I found this book to be a little too repetitive, dated, and pretty light on insight for 370+ pages. Many example résumés are included, each annotated with one of two of Farr's comments. The author makes great suggestions (IMHO) for people returning to the workforce and those without formal education. I wouldn't recommend buying this book, but if you can borrow it... Cover to cover, my sunk cost is about 14 hours. |
