I was skeptical at first that this book would contain any new information. But I was pleasantly surprised when it did. There are so many different ideas--new formats, new apps, new approaches--to writing a resume that I'd never considered. Anyone looking for a new position should read this book. It's a quick read, but a great reference to keep on hand.
This guide helped build confidence in my resume. I had some reservation about adding creativity to my resume, but was liberated by the step by step approach in how to be creative and stay within a professional context. The author takes a practical approach; I literally had my resume open while reading, adding the various hacks as I went along. Even though I started with an existing resume, the way the guide is structured, I can easily imagine building from scratch and using each hack as a waterfall template to a finished product. I recommend this to anyone looking for an edge in a competitive job market!
Where has this been all my life? Why don't they teach this information in schools? Easy to understand and follow. I've already had responses and an interview for a dream job after following the author's recommendations.
The author does an excellent job condensing tons of information and providing insight, practical suggestions, visual examples and specific, step-by-step instructions to complete a resume which will result in calls from prospective employers. Don’t get blindsided by out-of-date information found on multiple websites. This book answers questions on how best to showcase soft skills, job experience, education, volunteer accomplishments, employment gaps, transferable skills, and technology. The “Zoom Out” questions and perspective are valuable and worthwhile to consider in this process. They are the exact questions and conversation starters a wise mentor would ask you. 5 Stars!!!!!!! One addition which needs to be checked out: the FREE DIY Resume Hacks Companion Course.
I got so much out of this book I couldn't put it down! Loved all the samples. Loved the tips for older applicants and those with work gaps. Will be using this for our Jobs for Life program. So many great ideas and tips to get through today's market with ever changing technologies.
What a great resource: this is helping me tackle the daunting task of updating my resume in a clear, step-by-step process. I appreciate the author's writing style: not dry and very personable. I wish this resource was available 5 years ago when I was re-entering the job market. The steps and accompanying reflections have been very encouraging. I used to walk away from my resume feeling inadequate, but this resource has helped me see how my many experiences have created a valuable list of transferable skills. I'm having fun with the resume hacks!
This is the most comprehensive user friendly book you will find on the market to help you with a winning resume. It cover all the topics you would expect with tips for gaps and stay at home moms as well, which can be hard to figure out what to do with those situations. If you want a resume that will land you that ideal job, than this is the book for you!
This book is so thorough and easy to follow! It has given me a better understanding and ways to be able to get an interview. I highly recommend this rather than spending hundreds of dollars on a professional .!
