Summary: Has helped me find more than one job
Comment: This is one of the best resume books out there. It includes the basics of resumes - work history, education, and things like that. BUT...

It also gives many sample resumes and cover letters from real people who got the jobs they applied for.

The resumes cover everything from people trying to change jobs, get a job just out of college, and people who have been doing the same type of work for years.

The appendices were also extremely helpful. There is an appendix of action verbs - very helpful in creating an "active" resume. There is an appendix on cover letters - very nice for folks who aren't sure how to write a cover letter. There is also an appendix of employer responses to the sample resumes - this was helpful because it showed how employers think.

I highly recommend this one - it's helped me land more than one job and I've even lent it to friends and family who were job searching - and they all got jobs using the tips outlined in this book.

Summary: I have found this book to the best resume book on the market
Comment: I have been using "A Damn Good Resume" over 8 years. Other materials on resume writing skirt around the subject. "A Damn Good Resume" goes right to the point. I use it exclusively in my work as a job developer and placement specialist. Yana has taken the guess work out of putting together an exceptional resume package.
