Summary: Boring and a waste of time!
Review: I bought this book based on all of the favorable review's and was greatly disappointed. As a recent college graduate in the humanities, I found it to be a big waste of time and money! If you are not interested in finding a job, buy this book!

Summary: 101 Best... has great tips in the back!
Review: I bought this book based on the reivews in this site, and it is a really good one. The resumes have a wide variety of examples and are very high-powered/professional. But to my surpirse, there are 200 quick and lean job search tips in the back, and they're great. They helped out on interviewing, writing resumes and letters, working with headhunters and interviewing. This is a great value if you need a job search book.

Summary: Very Creative Options and Street Smart Tips
Review: My husband bought me this book as I am considering changing jobs. I found the variety of this book to exceed that of similar ones, and the 5 or 6 sections in the back on street smart tips was terrific for interviewing, negotiating, uncovering hidden opportunities. This was a great value. Wish it was on disk....

Review: My wife got me this book for Christmas through Amazon.com to follow up with my New Year's resolution to look for new opportunities in healthcare. This book is pretty good - it has a lot of varying kinds of resumes and good tips for overall job search, interviewing, and networking.

Summary: Resumes that match candidate skills with employer's needs
Review: This book is very good for several reasons: It gives the best variety of resumes (the best from the Professional Association of Resume Writers, over 1000 members), just enough how-to without overkill and 200 tips bulleted off in the back that are very information rich (see back cover copy). The resumes focus on positioning the candidate's skills and matching them to the employer needs. The book also includes sample cover letters that are more action-oriented than the typical ones I saw in other books. I found several resumes that I could emulate and use, particularly those on pages 56 and 118.
