Haldane's Best Resumes for Professionals (Haldane's Best)

Rating:
Summary: very helpful in the job search
Review: I am planning on changing careers, so I have been reading everything I can on resume writing. This book helped me focus the attention on my unique skills and how to market them to potential employers. I have revised my resume since reading the book (which comes with questions to help you find your strengths). Truthfully, I haven't gotten a job offer, but that most likely is due to my location, which is several hundred miles from my present location. I intend to look up Haldane and Assoc. when I get to New Jersey. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to re-market him/herself.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This book was probably very good about 10 years ago. However, companies now use the Internet, Electronic Resumes and specific software to look for qualified applicants. This book touches maybe 2 pages on this new approach to job hunting. To be competitive you need to know how to follow the technological revolution of electronic resumes. If you plan to work for a mom and pop company the old style would probably suffice but if your looking to work for a Fortune 500 company forget it!
