June 27, 2009: I worked for 15 years at the same company so my resume was a jumble but upon picking up this book and thumbing hrough it I found a resume format that was PERFECT.
Thumbing through some more I found other ideas which helped cream a prime resume that has impressed everyone who has seen it.Even a professional resume service company told me how impressed they were with the format and content. When they asked how I came up with the idea this book was the first thing I mentioned and they wrote it down as a source they plan on checking in on. Since then I have heard from them that they got several copies and it has proved essential creating some incredible responses from their other clients.The "design rules" at the beginning are helpful just make sure you have a pencil or highlighter to mark some key points.As far as the organization of the real life resume they are not really put in an easy order so it could take some time to find the right one for you. I suggest flipping through until finding a resume that stands out even if the section tab does not match your "field". I found an "I/T" resume format in a schooling area instead of the "I/T" section.I highly recommend this for both beginners and long term resume writers.
