Summary: Not worth it
Review: Here's my cover letter for why it's not worth buying this book:"6 months of resume and cover letter writing during my job search is the experience that I can bring to the position of Bad Book Writer." Every example follows the same exact cookie-cutter recipe, starting with this type of sentence. Not only are the sample letters of poor quality, but there is no information of substance as to how to craft a letter that is unique to my situation and prospective employer. The Power Impact Technique is simple a 2-step process that follows the cookie-cutter recipe.

Summary: HR manager says excellent resource; buy & use!
Review: I am an HR Manager and I can highly recommend this book as the authority on cover letters. Not only do I recommend it to others, I just used it myself and dramatically improved my cover letters. The new boss who hired me stated he thought my cover letter was excellent and my resume really got his attention. I used both Ryan's books " Winning Cover Letters, and her other book "Winning Resumes". I give them my highest endorsement.

Summary: this book helped me get the job!
Review: I hate writing cover letters but the author outlined a formula that was easy to follow. After not getting any results I used this book to create my winning cover letter (and I used her Winning Resume book too), and I got an interview for a great mid-level manager postion. I landed the job and they commented on how impressed they had been by my letter & resume. This author is a pro -- buy this book if you want real guidnace in landing a new or better job. If I can learn to write an effective cover letter, anyone can.
