User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Perfect Resumes and a Perfect Scam
The book is one of the better guides to writing good resumes. Good examples are provided. But Jackson and company are also pulling a sales scam. Try to download the free templates and you’ll find they never arrive in your inbox. Go back to the site in an attempt to really get them, and you’ll find they are now $4.95 (because they’ve already been sent). Beware the liar!
1 Star Okay, but there’s better things out there
Resume writing is great and all for finding jobs, but this book and others like it is hardly worth it. It’s easier to go to http://www.HelpDeskCrossing.com and get guaranteed assistance in getting a job, and not just career building. Thanks to them I can actually see ton’s of openings in thousands of positions from small company’s to Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 Companies. I’d recommend this website before any silly book anyday.
5 Stars Perfect.
The tools in this book are absolutely essential in creating an outstanding resume. It’s also very up-to-date.
5 Stars The Best Resume Book Available
Since the early 1970′s, Tom Jackson has been one of the truly innovative contributors to the field of career development. This latest version of The Perfect Resume adds significantly to the field and defines the state-of-the-art in resume writing. There’s nothing better available anywhere.
5 Stars The only book you need
I have written resumes for several people over the years and I have always gone back to “Perfect Resume” time and time again for top-quality reference.
Great job.
