I have been looking for a good book on resume writing for my daughter. I was surprised when I was asked to give my honest review of this book in trade for a copy. The first thing I noticed is that the book seemed really short and I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough "meat on the bones" to help my daughter rewrite her resume. I'm pleased to say that I wasn't at all disappointed in the amount of unique content my daughter and I found.The title of this book "How to Write a Winning Resume: Step By Step Instructions to Help Your Resume Get Noticed" should be taken literally. This little book opened our eyes to some interesting things that we hadn't thought of before. Like "what to leave out is often more important than stressing over things to put in that won't matter." My daughter has recently run into the problem of being "over-qualified" for a position and not being hired. This book not only put a new perspective on that situation, but also offered up solutions. Genius!Anybody that is really looking for employment and has been feeling that they are being passed-over should get this book. After reading it and pondering the information, I gave my daughter this advice... "Let them find out your over-qualified AFTER you get the job. It will be hard for them to let you go once they know you're willing to start a little lower." My daughter is rewriting her resume now, using this book as reference. Thank you Ms. Olson!
