Book Description
An indispensible resource for today's independent investorsMore Americans than ever are directing their own investments, and thousands of "experts" promise information on the best stocks and bonds to buy. To be successful in the markets, investors need to dig out of the information overload and the unintelligible lingo. Using examples to help simplify complex financial issues and written in lively, understandable language, Gretchen Morgenson and Campbell R. Harvey explain and cross-reference more than 3,500 investing terms, from the rules surrounding abandonment options to when you should expect to pay interest on zero-coupon bonds. They define the risks and rewards that accompany various investments and help you find meaningful information on a company's or fund's financial statements. Among the terms they decode: the markets, the indexes, and how they work, including the NYSE, Nasdaq, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Russell 2000, Samp;P 500, and Wilshire 5000 discounted investment opportunities, such as employee stock purchase plans and DRIPs tools for estimating company earnings, P/E ratios, quarterly EPS and GPS momentum, and analyst target pricesThis is the essential A-to-Z reference for understanding the jargon, the nonsense, and the language of investing.

A must have for every sales person.......2001-02-22
This book is an incredible resource to preparing a world-class sales rep resume. I thought I had a pretty good resume until I got this book. I just received two job offers and in both interviews got great feedback on my resume. I got from this book what would have cost me hundreds of dollars in professional resume writer fees. A great investment for your future!
Strategic yet practical help for getting that job you want.......1999-12-07
I found the book to be very helpful. It is well organized, concise yet insiteful. Very up-to-date with advice on how to get a job in the internet age. The resumes are very effective and offer good examples to craft your own resume from - much more helpful than other books I've read on the subject - most likely due to its targeted nature - sales and marketing resumes. That way I can look at almost any resume and find it helpful instead of wading thru a bunch of general resumes to find one that is applicable.

Great for recent grads, not seasoned pros.......2006-01-07
Okay, I'm not a seasoned professional, but I can write a resume, and pretty darn good one at that. However, I was looking for ways to give mine a new touch. I bought this book used, and it was worth the $7 I paid for it. I got a couple of new ideas, but it was more of the same old information.

Customer Reviews:
Don't Waste Your Money!!.......2004-01-27
I was excited at the prospect of this book, but its not worth the money, even at $10. The advice isn't bad, but it's not better than the advice given on Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. Go to those for free.
The most telling problem with the book is the example resumes. Although the advice given at the beginning is sound, most of the resumes don't follow the advice. And, the advice isn't that robust anyway.

A traditional approach with valuable insight.......2001-08-21
It is obvious that anyone who wants to work in sales or marketing should have a superb resume... after all, if you can't sell yourself to an employer, how could you possibly sell their products or services? Thankfully, books like this one exist... you provide the coal (your education and experience), and Lewis and Corwin will fashion it into a diamond (one gem of a resume!).
The first 80 pages of the book are packed with excellent advice on resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, and job hunting. Some of their methods are unfashionable in the current job marketplace (they focus strictly on the chronological resume format, for example, and always include a "references available" statement), but it's generally a bad idea for anyone new to anything to break with tradition. The rest of the book contains 100 sample resumes, nicely categorized by market segment and job description.
Bottom line: if you're looking for a job in sales, marketing, or management, then you can't afford to miss this book.
Customer Reviews:
Great textbook.......2007-05-09
Its a good text book. Not too complicated to read, class is kind of a pain. If this is a program requirement, struggle your way through it. If its not a requirement, don't take this class, its annoying and frustrating.
