"The Damn Good Resume Guide disappears from our shelves faster than any other resume title." "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... -- STAN KINDERKNECHT, Albuquerque, NM "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." -- Sherry A., Fountain Valley, CA Over a half million copies of Damn Good Resume Guide are already in use in career centers and homes around the country. "Damn Good" has been a prime resource for job-hunters since it appeared in 1983. It's become a favorite with agencies, too, wherever a compassionate, self-esteem-building approach needs to be combined with ease-of-use, clarity, and hard-headed business savvy. 80 pages, $7.95
