This book begins with a very interesting statistics: A recent study shows that if you don't have a very specialized skill for a high-demanding job it may take you 25 or 50 resumes sent before you will get your first response. I would say it's probably optimistic. When I was looking for a job while studying at the MBA program a financial crisis began and I send probably a hundred resumes before I got my first response. I wish I had read this book at that time. This book has an excellent checklist of what you should have in a resume and what to avoid. There are very simple things that you can correct in your resume in order to get interview invitation with much higher probability. I have just found a new job and after improving my resume with the help of this book I probably got invited for the interview to every third of fifth company I sent my resume to. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a job right now or intend to look for a new job in future.
