THE DAMN GOOD RESUME GUIDE (2001 ed.)

"The Damn Good Resume Guide disappears from our shelves faster than any other resume title."
-- MARC WEBB, Program Manager/Librarian, San Francisco Public Library.


"A wonderful, beautiful little book, elegant in its simplicity. Especially love the way it supports people's dignity as they go through the job search."
--
MARTY NEMKO, Radio host for "School & Career Talk," KALW, San Francisco.
"I've been using The Damn Good Resume Guide for the last several years. I don't even remember when I first bought it. Must have been 1985 or '86. At the time I was a Law Enforcement Supervisor in the Air Force and I spent a lot of time helping young airmen transition out of the service and into civilian life. Your Guide was the best resource I had. (It's not all that easy to translate military skills into civilian, even in common careers like Law Enforcement.)

"Anyway, I've gone back to school and now work with Job Service as a Veterans' Rep. I'm writing, or assisting with, an average of 30 resumes a week --- and I still have my original copy of The Damn Good Resume Guide on my desk."

"Damn Good Resume Guide is required reading for my classes at Skyline College, and my students keep turning out very effective resumes following your Ten Steps. For many it has meant their first real job. For others it has meant a job change they never thought possible."
--
RICH BARNHART, Skyline College and San Francisco State University faculty.
"Damn Good Resume Guide is a GREAT book! I've heard many horror stories about how hard it can be to make your resume stand out from all the rest enough to make the prospective employer want to interview you. Last year, when I thought I was getting out of the military, I followed the Damn Good Resume Guide in writing my resume. Not only did I get a good number of bites from the resumes I sent, but I actually had three great job offers...before I found out the military was keeping me another year. So now I'm refreshing my resume and looking forward to changing professions later THIS year...

"For over a month I had had to look for a new job. My company has been bought out and we get the boot. I have not had any responses to my resume and was becoming VERY depressed. We are talking sleepless nights and lots of tears. This Monday we were given three weeks severance and off we go. I was so scared that I have not gotten any bites. I went to my local book store and your book popped out at me. Why? Because it was not three inches thick and it is an easy read. I did not have time to be bothered by such big books right now.

"Bottom line is, I followed your steps, re-vamped my resume, borrowed from the example resumes and cover letters, and guess what?
My phone has been ringing and I have some great leads this week. The rest is up to me. Thank you so much for this book. I will be sure to let everyone know how useful it has been to me."
