The best tech resume book on the market, July 14, 2003

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.

A MUST for IT professionals!, January 26, 2003

"Ace the IT Resume" is the best resume book I have come across that is specific to the IT industry. I am graduating from college in a few weeks and this book has really helped me with my resume and portfolio. This book is for ANYONE in the IT field. Whether you are a recent college grad or someone looking to move up the ladder. It has numerous examples of all different resumes according to job title. Also, check out the 2nd book in the series called "Ace the IT Job Interview." It is another great way to help you find the job and GET the job!

Rewriting the Resume, November 20, 2002

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.
