Summary: Awesome
Comment: I found Resume Magic to be very helpful. I had paid a lot of money for a professsional resume that just wasn't workig. I tweaked it with tips from this book and had a new job within 2 weeks. The only negative is there is so much information it could be overwhelming if you are starting a resume from scratch and/or have never built a resume.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is a MUST have!
Comment: The is quite simply the best book on resume writing I've ever read. I've worked in HR for over 20 years, and I've never seen anything like this. Well worth the money. So far, I've used this book to write four resumes for family and friends, all of which have resulted in jobs.
If I could have given this book 7 stars, I would have.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Use this book to create a great resume
Comment: This book contains many examples of resumes, including before and after examples.
Information on words to use, as well as a grammar refresher, will help you polish the phrases on your resume and avoid tiresome, overused phrases.
There is also a section on cover letters and a section devoted to making your resume visually appealing so that it stands out.
I found tons of useful information in this book, not just platitudes and superficial advice like some resume books dish out.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent examples, treats the subject in depth
Comment: I checked this book out of the local library, and realized it was worth buying for long-term reference. The thing I like best about the book is the way it speaks to the basic question "Why do I write a resume?" Most treatments just show you how; this one shows you what you're trying to accomplish with a resume and how best to do that. It has many specific examples, too--so that when you're finished, you have a document that can accomplish what the resume can accomplish in today's world of work.
