Resumes for Dummies, Fourth Edition

Rating:
Summary: 5 stars!
Review: This is the finest resume book I've ever read. Part IV, Going Up and Cyber-Ways with Your Resume, helped me immeasurably to understand the way resumes are sent in today's world. Chapter 17, Spin Control Against Deadly Perceptions, was also enormously helpful.

Rating:
Summary: Not for New Graduates
Review: 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.)
