Worth its weight in future paystubs,
If nothing else, this book is beneficial because it gives the reader lots of ideas to borrow (Ok, steal, but that’s why this book was written). I’m not very creative when it comes to laying the resume out, but the different possibilities gives me some options. It’s important to not be too wordy in the resume, and Kennedy shows us what to emphasize. Her snappy writing style makes a mundane topic actually interesting. It’s nice to know that I have this on my shelf in case I decide to go job-hunting in the future.

|A Good Reference for Rusty Job Seekers,
After many years at the same company, I’m on the job market and although I’ve been fairly conscientious about keeping my resume up to date, I haven’t really had to test it in the marketplace. A review of the “Resumes for Dummies” book helped me to refine my job descriptions, incorporate more action oriented words and focus on the skills and jobs that are relevant to the type of position that I want to hold in the future.
Like all “Dummies” books, this one is presented in a simple easy-to-read, well-organized format with large bulleted headlines and plenty of graphics and examples. Whether you read the whole book, or just refer to specific sections, this book has it all, including resume formats; how to present education, experience, skills, activities, organizations, etc.; good attention-grabbing words; getting rid of deadweight in the resume; going digital and distributing the resume; spin control against potential problems, such as too much or too little experience, gaps in employment, demotions, age, etc.
The book is packed with resume tips, and should be one of the first you refer to if you’re starting a new job search or just not sure that your resume is representing you fairly.
