Summary: The name says it all!
Comment: I bought this book back in the mid-1990's when I was looking to make a career shift. To say that the guide is merely effective would be an understatement. This guide is AWESOME! If you follow the instructions and utilize the layouts in the examples for the type of job you are seeking, you will soon find your resume will consistently float to the top of the pile at nearly every place you apply. You WILL get phone calls! Of course, the rest is up to you -- a resume alone will not get you the job. But, when properly written and designed, they will help you get your foot in the door. I used this book to help me craft a resume for an out-of-work friend who was always amazed at how easy it was for me to locate employement, and he, too, started getting phone calls. He was employed within a month.
USE IT! IT WORKS!

Summary: The Quite Good Resume Guide
Comment: I would say this book is quite good, but not damn good. It's fine if want to write a resume for a 'normal' type of career, but if you have a technical or non-office type of background, it's a bit lacking. For those types of jobs, you sometimes NEED a job description or list of duties in your resume for employers to know exactly what it is you do- -highly discouraged here. I strongly recommend Rosenberg and Hizer's 'The Resume Handbook' over this book. It has everything that's in 'The Damn Good Resume Guide' and a bit more, including a list of resume don'ts and examples of bad resumes.

Summary: Best if you are in a hurry.
Comment: This book has ten steps to writing a good resume. For those of you who might think that this is too many, everything is so concisely written that it is easy to get through the book in a day and end up with a great resume. Other books on resumes that I have read fill up their pages with fluff or well-duh information, not so this book. Although some may complain about the seemingly lack of variety in the jobs showcased (I tend to disagree), the ten steps themselves may be applied to a resume for any job. The only drawback to the sample resumes in this book that I can see is that they are a bit wordy (which contrasts with the rest of the book). However, you can aways trim the fat in your own resume.
I recommend this book to everyone, but especially to people that want a consise explanation of how to write a resume, and/or someone that needs to produce a resume in a short amount of time.
