If you are not getting call-backs on your resume, you should grab this book!  In a previous life, so to speak, I used to be a technical Recruiter, handling thousands of resumes.  In that time, they all followed the same format.  I know what Recruiters look for, and those old templates (that still seem to be on most computers) don't work anymore!  I went through this guide page-by-page and I was nodding in agreement with the author.  I could see how much improved the resume in front of me became, as I implemented the advice given.The author takes you from the heading to the reference section and cover letter, including bonuses at the end to help you use the words that GRAB someone's attention and will make your resume stand out.  Step-by-step simple instructions on how to improve each section, what parts are truly important and how to write so that you are engaging the reader (the Recruiter or HR Professional).  With an air of humor, Ms. Drew clearly shows you what will work and what doesn't.  I haven't written a resume in years, so when I had the task of rewriting one, I found that this book was a godsend.A very thorough, detailed book with plenty of samples and examples to help guide you along each step the way.  Not only will you end up with a professional Resume, but also a Reference Sheet, Cover Letter and some preparation for the Interview.  Ms. Drew provides "power words" that you can use instead of the same bland phrases other applicants will undoubtedly use.  Everything you need to get yourself set up right has been included here in this book.  Grab it and start revising your resume today; the call-backs are going to come because you will now be armed with a powerful resume that catches attention and prompts Recruiters to call!
