Kate has nailed exactly why you should take great care with your resume, and how to do it. It is slightly biased towards Canberra, but, that aside, it is equally suitable for anyone who is trying to represent themselves well.
She repeats a few time - to drum it in - that you have Very Little Time to make a good impression. You may have slaved over the resume for weeks - but it will (generally) be read in five seconds. That makes it so important to get this right.
Great work Kate.

Writing a quality resume isn't all that easy, except with this book. As a business owner I find it very frustrating when presented with poorly written and constructed resumes ... resumes that aren't informative or inspiring. That includes from anyone who has been in the workforce for awhile and grads who I tend to use for short-term assignments (interns also). Grads will find this book full of practical guidance and tips that are easy-to-apply in developing a resume that will truly stand out in the field. I'm glad I found Resume Success Secrets because it's a book I can easily recommend to grads. The chapter on digital footprints is extremely useful. The resume templates are fabulous. And the chapter on interview tips? A must read for anyone applying for a job, especially those who haven't been interviewed recently or those being interviewed for the first time. I'll be recommending Resume Success Secrets over and over and over.

βI bought this book as my husband is looking to change careers and has been really struggling to get anyone even to acknowledge they have his resume.Β It is a very frustrating time. When I checked some of the books they were so long with so much information it was overwhelming. My husband already feels under pressure to find work he needs something quick and simple, with step by step instructions.Β This book really fits the bill.Β Short, sharp and clear. It tells you how to present yourself, quickly and easily create a resume that works and how to prepare for an interview. Which is great as my husband usually has gotten his work from people approaching him, so he really hasn't had much exposure to interviews. This is a life saver. Thank you.β

This book was fabulous. It is written in a conversational style which made it very easy to understand. This book also explains how to work with a recruiter, a must read if you intend registering with recruiters. It explains why you may never hear back from a recruiter and in a few easy steps how to be on the top of their preferred list.
It really helped me to understand what changes I should make to my current resume. Knowing that most employers spend 60 seconds scanning my resume to make a decision whether I will be considered or not was an eye opener. I now feel confident with the tools provided to me in this book that I will have a successful outcome in my job search.

As an employer this is exactly how I would want to receive resumes. So many times prospect just get it so wrong and even though they may be the best person for the job they don't get past resume stage.
The book is easy to read with plenty of examples and should be a must read for everyone thinking of going for a new job.

For years I wrote my own resumes and thought they were well done. Then a friend recommended this book to me and I learned what a professionally prepared resume looked like and how it can improve your employment prospects. The 60 second rule is GOLD.
It's an easy read, easy to follow and implement and it makes a positive difference. Thank you Kate!

I hate to say this but as a mature age worker out there, it is not easy. This book gave me some great insights that I had never thought of before. Highly recommend it, whether you are just starting out or find yourself going back to work later in life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you β¦β¦..
