3 out of 5 stars Excellent resume resource for those without a clue.......2007-08-25

This book will undoubtedly save time for those who are frustrated by the process of writing their own resume. Having reviewed more resumes than I can count at this point, I can fully appreciate the value in showing people how to scrutinize their own work. The trouble that I've found is that people are too close to their own histories to do a really good job of marketing themselves. They know too much. What this book shows as much as anything is that getting a professional review on a resume is worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars Good Value.......2002-07-17

I found the book to be very helpful. It had some useful tips and sample resumes and cover letters. One of the best books of its type I've ever seen

2 out of 5 stars Boring and a waste of time!.......2000-04-25

I bought this book based on all of the favorable review's and was greatly disappointed. As a recent college graduate in the humanities, I found it to be a big waste of time and money! If you are not interested in finding a job, buy this book!

5 out of 5 stars Good Pick.......1999-12-28

My wife got me this book for Christmas through Amazon.com to follow up with my New Year's resolution to look for new opportunities in healthcare. This book is pretty good - it has a lot of varying kinds of resumes and good tips for overall job search, interviewing, and networking.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Helpful for the cover letter 'rookie'.......2007-01-26

101 Best Cover Letters is a good buy if you are struggling with putting together just the right words for a great cover letter. Gives some "common sense" tips, but also a variety of styles (i.e. responding to classified ad, how to incorporate a reference, specific careers) for your letter. Obviously you still have to make your cover leter your own, but this book definitely helps get the wheels turning.

1 out of 5 stars 101 Flattering cover letters for sycophants.......2006-06-16

The example letters are uniformly dreadful. Marginal grammar and usage combine with a sacherine style aimed at kissing up to second-raters. These letters are guaranteed to repell anyone with whom one would really like to work.

4 out of 5 stars GREAT Book, BUT NOT in Digital Format.......2004-02-12

Great examples of cover letters with explanation of what makes them great, but I only know this because I bought the printed version after not being able to read the examples AT ALL in the downloaded digital version. I even tried reading on a 19" high resolution monitor using the PC version of Microsoft Reader, .

The problem is that even though Microsoft Reader allows one to change the fonts of the print to suit the reader, scanned images like ALL the cover letter examples are not scalable, so it is impossible to distinguish an e from an o, l from an i, and so on.

Amazon should not sell books with graphics and fixed images in digital format, or at least should warn customers of the issue before they pay to download a book in digital format that has over 70% in unscalable, unreadable format.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE NEWBIES or EXPERTS OUT THERE!.......2003-06-08

This book was a great investment! The cover letters give you examples to use in your own letter and show you the strengths found in each cover. I actually took a highlighter to this book and highlighted my favorite lines and ideas out of certain letters. I then implemented them into my letter. Great for everyone, the professional or the inexperienced. YOU NEED THIS BOOK!

2 out of 5 stars I was very disappointed with this purchase........2002-08-28

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The only subject the letters cover is for use in getting a job. If I had known that it was strictly targeting getting a job I would have never purchased this. I was looking for a book that had a variety of letters you would find useful in the business world, not getting a job.

    3 out of 5 stars Nothing to write home about..........2007-04-27

    If, by chance, you have never had to put together a resume this book will provide you with excellent step-by-step instruction. There is a section that assists in gathering the essentials of who you are and incorporating that information into a single document. There is also a portion of the book that provides a rather substantial list of "action words" to help you bulk up your resume. The resume samples are fairly decent, but not anything striking. They are definitely professional looking, but they probably won't make you stick out from the pack.

    Let me tell you, that I have just read through four resume books specifically aimed at teachers (this book, the one listed below, Resumes and Cover Letters for Teachers, and Real-Resumes for Teachers). If you want the ultimate book, you should take a look at Expert Resumes For Teachers And Educators (Expert Resumes).

    5 out of 5 stars Great resume book!.......2002-06-27

    I really enjoyed this resume book. It helped me to get my first teaching job and I was even complimented on my resume by my employer. I really found the chapter on what gets left out helpful. It also gives you good action words and short phrases to use. Great for administrators too!

    As educators know, it can be difficult to put together a resume filled with all that goes into teaching: classroom, coaching, club advisor, education, licenses, etc. This book not only tells the career educator what to include, it helps weed out unnecessary information. With sections such as Production Guidelines, Tailoring Your Resume, and Resumes for International Teaching, this book is for the teacher seriously looking for a new position. It even has a section on Cover Letters.

    5 out of 5 stars A few words from one of the contributors to this book.......2002-03-02

    Because of the long lead times in book publishing, by the time this book went to press, the dot-com bust was happening, however much of the information in this book is still very relevant and applicable.

    When I was asked to contribute, I was already predicting that there would be sweeping changes within the high-tech industry and choose my contributions accordingly, focusing on ERP, cross-platform databases and Internet security samples as areas that would continue to be relevant beyond the dot-com boom.

    The advice given by Jay and Michael as well as all of my colleagues' samples in this book are highly polished and continue to be relevant models for any individual pursuing a career in high-tech, in my opinion.

Drawing on the rich traditions of anthropology and sociology, Livelihood and Microfinance explores how livelihood approaches could lead to a better understanding of saving and credit behavior, and how such an understanding could help the design of finance for development. Contributors also propose new methods for better incorporating citizens into the larger economic system. Anticipating the United Nations’s Year of Microfinance in 2005, Livelihood and Microfinance is a long-awaited contribution to the international debate on the best approaches to development.

              5 out of 5 stars Good advice for beginning and intermediate investors..........2005-01-10

              This book provides a great introduction to personal finance. I have read it over a few times over the years, and although some of the specific recommendations are outdated, the concepts presented are still right on target. Anyone that takes an interest in money and investing will probably outgrow the book at some point, but we all have to start somewhere. Skousen is the undisputed heavyweight champion of free-market advocates, and some of his advice is more geared towards advancing this national economic agenda than the reader's personal financial interest. He does point this out, so I took no particular issue with it. I simply did not follow his advice if I didn't see the benefit. Each edition of this book reflects Skousen's intense concern with inflation. Some of the resulting investment recommendations, including gold, art, real estate, and collectibles probably wouldn't have produced a great deal of wealth for many readers. This is hindsight, however, and does not diminish the value of the advice offered in aggregate in the rest of the book.

              4 out of 5 stars Personal Finance 101.......2003-12-27

              This is a great text for someone who wants to whip their finances into shape. It starts with the absolute basics and gives great hints on how to save money and how to change your thinking so that you may accumulate true wealth.

              2 out of 5 stars Did I buy this book.......2003-07-18

              Not memorable. No significant impact.

              5 out of 5 stars A great starting book you'll read again and again . . ........2000-01-07

              The one star reviewer must have been expecting something else.

              I bought this book in college when it was only available in hardcover, and I have dog-eared the pages three times over.

              With so many copycat financial books flooding the market, this little book stands as an original. Much of the information is elementary, but the book's value is its breadth and its practical "how to" bent. This book doesn't stop at "consider investing in mutual funds". It gives you funds the Skousens love and the funds phone numbers so you can start today.

              This book also lets the beginner or the small fry dream. It also covers exotic investing in art, metals, foreign bank accounts, currency, options, and tells you how to get a taste of any of these, complete with contact phone numbers. Try getting that from the Wall Street Journal or Barron's.

              It has great, simple chapters on credit management, cutting down expenses, real estate, and most of all, personal responsibility. If you are not a jaded person who has given up on personal finance or a wiseacre who thinks you can't learn anything new, you will like this book. If even one of its dozens of interesting financial ideas or contacts pans out for you or makes you feel better, more like a Rockefeller, then it has earned its keep.

              This book will be a personal favorite of yours. Look for it in hard cover so you won't wear it out.

              4 out of 5 stars Common sense strategies for those wishing to help themselves.......1997-05-07

              The Skousens have drawn from some age old wisdom regarding thrift and lifestyle and have spun an interesting fabric of how that wisdom, if applied today, can still affect our lives dramatically. As the Skousens powerfully point out, a carefully planned expenditure and investment of even meager means can have an unbelieveable impact on our financial well being, both early on and later in life. This book is delightful reading and will not disappoint

              4 out of 5 stars Definitely Low-Impact, Not No-Impact.......2002-09-01

              Kremer and McComas have compiled a solid, if not impressive, collection of various strategies for how to get the word out and differentiate yourself from your competitors, who are trying to do the exact same thing.

              Unlike Michael Levine's Guerrilla PR Wired, though, Kremer and McComas have written for the small to medium sized business. The title says Low-Impact, not No-Impact. Make sure your Marketing budget has more than just the price of the book before getting it.

              3 out of 5 stars Medium Impact at Best.......2002-08-16

              I am a small business owner and on a budget (who isn't?) but this book didn't fill all of the gaps for me. It offers some great ideas, but it is not the only book you should read when you are marketing your business. I also just read Guerrilla PR by Michael Levine and I feel that I have a better grasp of marketing because of it.

              5 out of 5 stars A Excellent Discovery.......2000-02-05

              I recently picked out John Kremer's High-Impact Marketing on a Low-Impact Budget randomly from the library shelf where all the other marketing books are perched. I think anyone who has read the book doesn't want anyone else to know it's secrets! I made the decision to purchase it before I finished reading the first chapter. I consider it an excellent find as it a helpful resource book and a must for anyone looking to sharpen their marketing skills.

                          What a breath of fresh air to find a book that you can pick up & use just by opening it! You do not need to read every page to make use of the wonderful motivational ideas in here.

                          I found this especially useful when all my ideas sound the same or I'm just not getting any new ideas going! Great for youth group leaders, small businesses, school parent groups, and recreation centers.
