Summary: don't leave work without it
Review: I agree with one of the earlier reviewers; this book is more a compendium of (many) examples than a practical guide to making your resume shine.

As a certified professional, full-time executive resume writing expert, I know that personalized information and details can make all the difference. (NOT to be confused with personal details and information, like hobbies.)

Take care not to copy the resumes in this (or any) too exactly. This makes your resume too "cookie-cutter." It looks just like those created by inexpensive resume writing software (or cheap resume writing services).

... You're attempting to sell a very expensive product of uncertain quality to company management.

This book can help you, but remember that you can't afford NOT to have a professional-looking resume and marketing documents with the correct content.

Good Luck,

John Todd

Summary: This is the best resume reference book I have ever used
Review: I browsed this book and am buying it because it provides examples of how to write an executive resume. It has a large number of resumes with formatting that is top-notch. You will also find some excellent examples of how to strengthen your executive resume. It is not so much a "how to" book as a source of excellent resume examples for Director, VP, General Manager, and President level jobs.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best examples of Resumes available
Review: I have read extensively in this subject and this book is the best by far in regards to examples. Normally books have at most a dozen examples; this has more than 100 hundred. The are based on real cases, so you get the chance to explore different stiles and find one that fits you. The same applies to fraises, key words, formats, etc.

This book is recommended for management and high level positions, not for entry or middle level employees.

My Resume, based on what I learned in this book, was praised by a top Headhunter in the country as very well written.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great resource
Review: I have used this book and found it to be a great concise resource. It's a good "how-to" book, suggestions then many examples. One can tell that Asher writes from great knowledge and experience.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A lot of the same thing
Review: I was not exactly thrilled with this book. It seems that the author mearly published all of the resumes he has written for clients rather than show some different forms and styles. Granted, there are many ideas to be gotten out of the book, but I would have liked to see some variety in the styles of the resumes. They all looked much the same. I think "Executive Resumes" by Steven Provenzano has been a much more helpful resume book

Summary: don't leave work without it
Review: I've used Asher's Executive Bible for several years now. My brother recently lost his job at IBM and I immediately bought him a copy of his own.

In this market your resume is little more than another unwanted piece of junk mail. You need to be polished and must stand out from an increasingly large crowd to find a good position and further your career.

Asher's Executive Bible gives you practical examples of actually resumes. He points out successful presentation techniques and styles.

There's no need to dumb down your resume and grovel for a job - any job. Asher's Bible has allowed my to manage my career onward and upward. He can do the same for you.
