"Excellent Book for Writing Resumes"
This was very helpful in writing my resume. The book is well written and very easy to follow. It brought to my attention things I had not thought to put in my resume so now I feel I covered all my bases. Recommend to anyone who wants to update their resume or anyone going out into the job market.

"The Perfect Resource for Anyone Seeking a Job!"
This book is a great reference book to have if you're looking for a job. An engaging writing style, comprehensive information for every type of job seeker, and the usual "dummies" approach make this a must-have for your career reference library. I especially liked how much attention was given to "special situations," such as being an aging baby boomer, coming back to work after a gap, etc. I couldn't think of a situation that wasn't covered. I loved the 10-Point Resume Checklist at the end of the book. If you haven't got a killer resume after reading this book, then you're just not trying very hard!

"Not for New Graduates"
While well-written and superbly organized, this book poorly met the needs of a recent graduate looking for work outside corporate world. A downright depressing read for those looking for a first job (treated as a "special need"), this book seems primarily designed for experienced sales and marketing professionals looking to move up in the corporate world. Those considering government work, having special needs other than "too much experience", or with a short work history should consider a different guide. (Incidentally, while the book left the impression I was unemployable, after ditching Resumes for Dummies, I was called for an interview on the first job I applied for.)

"Results!"
I wrote my resume based entirely on advice from this book, and landed the second job I applied for. That's what I all results.

"Easy Read and Information Exceeds Promise!!"
I've read a few career books, but none were as much a pleasure to read as Resumes for Dummies. Having already read Cover Letters for Dummies I knew that this book was going to be informative but still easy to read!

"Great fundamental information", On a 5 scale I rate this book a 5. This is a fundamentals book on resumes. Don't expect it to blow you away. Don't expect it to really stretch the envelope with new ideas. This is not "Resumes for Rocket Scientists". If you take it as I believe it's intended you will be well satisfied.

"Resumes for Dummies" will give you the base information you need to create or revise your resume in today's environment. The book is organized in a simple and logical way. It's written extremely well. You should find it easy to read and to use. It's full of tips and techniques that you can use immediately.

Best of the Book: I really like Chapter 9 "Passages Resumes for Your Life's Changing Phases". It's really important to sort of tune your resume for any job but it's especially important when you are using your resume - based on experience in one field - to get you a new job in a different field. This chapter will help.

Tie "Resumes for Dummies" with support from a qualified career coach and you'll be in very good shape.

I hope you use "Resumes for Dummies" to help your career management.

"A big help!", I wasn't sure where to really begin with writing a resume and this book was a big help! I recommend it to anyone who is a beginner with resumes.

"AMAZING!", I love the book!! It's an insider's look at the ever-changing world of job hunting--Joyce Layne Kennedy really knows her stuff. She takes you step-by-step through the process you should go through to write a perfect resume. And of course it reads with a witty edge that entertains you while you learn!

"I love the core resume to the spin-off concept!", Hi Joyce, In Chapter 1, you introduce a very easy Core Resume to Spin-off Resume style! This is great! So easy to focus, target and only rewrite about one-third of page ONE! And you are so right, the only way to write and post a resume in this job market is COMPLETELY TARGETED to the job.

5 Top Target Skills !! All of the samples in the book - 48 of them - written and produced by Kathryn Troutman's The Resume Place, Inc., team - are great. The targeting style with the box at the top, targeting text in the resume, are very helpful for resume writers.

Thanks Joyce for an all new, targeted resume book. Everyone needs to STAND OUT IN THEIR EXACT AREA OF EXPERTISE.

"Resume for Dummies, Fourth Edition", I highly recommend that every job seeker, no matter what your status, read this book. No others will hold a candle to it. I would not be able to describe how much I would be struggling, if it were not for this book. Just take the time to relax, put your feet up and read it from cover to cover. Building my resume came next (I had never done one due to years of service at my previous employer) and I used so many tips in that book while writing it. It actually does a wonderful job of preparing you for all aspects of your job search.

"Fabulous resource", If you need to write a resume, you need to buy this book. The amount of useful information stuffed
into its 300+ pages is incredible, not to mention the book is well written and funny.

"Worth its weight in future paystubs", If nothing else, this book is beneficial because it gives the reader lots of ideas to borrow (Ok, steal, but that's why this book was written). I'm not very creative when it comes to laying the resume out, but the different possibilities gives me some options. It's important to not be too wordy in the resume, and Kennedy shows us what to emphasize. Her snappy writing style makes a mundane topic actually interesting. It's nice to know that I have this on my shelf in case I decide to go job-hunting in the future.

"A Good Reference for Rusty Job Seekers", After many years at the same company, I'm on the job market and although I've been fairly conscientious about keeping my resume up to date, I haven't really had to test it in the marketplace. A review of the "Resumes for Dummies" book helped me to refine my job descriptions, incorporate more action oriented words and focus on the skills and jobs that are relevant to the type of position that I want to hold in the future.

Like all "Dummies" books, this one is presented in a simple easy-to-read, well-organized format with large bulleted headlines and plenty of graphics and examples. Whether you read the whole book, or just refer to specific sections, this book has it all, including resume formats; how to present education, experience, skills, activities, organizations, etc.; good attention-grabbing words; getting rid of deadweight in the resume; going digital and distributing the resume; spin control against potential problems, such as too much or too little experience, gaps in employment, demotions, age, etc.

The book is packed with resume tips, and should be one of the first you refer to if you're starting a new job search or just not sure that your resume is representing you fairly.

"resumes for today and tomorrow", As a career counselor, I hear people wondering what is new in resume trends. Are they still necessary? Kennedy, an experienced syndicated columnist and author, has taken the subject of resumes to a higher plane. Yes, they're still necessary. Using humor to present the somewhat standard material, she takes the reader from objective to experience with a minimum of pain. There are two unusual features in this book. Sample resumes are presented in a before and after format, illustrating subtle points which will enhance the reader's own focus. And the book ends with a checklist for evaluating your own resume. (Warning: it's hard to be objective enough to complete the checklist: you may need some help from a friend.)

"Very useful and up to date", I've read the author's other two Dummies books, Covers Letters and Job Interviews and given them both 5 stars. This book rounds out the series and it didn't disappoint me in any way.

With the job-hunting situation changing at Internet speed, I found this book to be up to date and extremely useful. Her coverage of electronic resumes was excellent, and I was glad to find that I wasn't too far off base on what I had already put together on my own in this regard. She did point out to me several weak areas that I did have and clearly spelled out with explanations and examples how I could make my resume better.

A very good book and I recommend it as being well worth the price and time I invested.
