The best tech resume book on the market
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My survey of resume books was disappointing until I found this one. This book helped me translate my military experience into a robust resume better than any "military transition" book I read. No question it will work the same for recent college grads or self-employed IT folks. The authors understand the differences the tech people face when creating a resume vs. the standard admin/clerical/business formats. Plenty of examples included--I didn't need to buy an extra book for sample resumes to cover a range of scenarios and backgrounds. It took my average resume and streamlined it into an effective, TARGETED tool. I was pretty impressed and now recommend it to everyone in the sector looking for a job.
Rewriting the Resume
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is an excellent book. In today's age of IT - this book explains how to get your resume noticed amongst the thousands recruiters and employers go through. Examples are shown as to what to include in your resume, words to include and actual resume examples. I had to rethink my resume and have actually rewritten it. Result - I had zero interviews and now I average one per week. I strongly recommend it.
Get this book if you want the ultimate edge.......

After following the advice from this book, I went on to secure what I now consider to be my ultimate job. Being fine-tuned for the I.T. industry, it easily surpasses the advice from any other resume or career-oriented book. Consider it a worthy investment in your future, the returns far surpass the purchase price.
Lots of great, useful examples

Finally a resume book for computer professionals with lots of great resume samples. I had been job searching and sending out my resume for two months with no response. After hearing about this book from a friend, I read it and I copied some portions of the network admin resumes...and am starting to get calls. I am so lucky to have found this book right when I needed it most. There is also a lot of useful advice about cover letters, how to make your experience sound better, going on interviews, submitting electronic resumes, and more.
AMAZING

If you need a helpful guide in writting an IT resume stop looking because you just found it. Robyn Thorpe has put together a masterpiece of helpful literature. I felt as though she was writting just for me. She truly knows what she is talking about. You can see this in the terms and phrases that she uses with accuracy and professionalism. This is a must for anyone entering the growing IT industry.
