Review from a professional resume writer

This is actually a great reference to writing your own resume. It covers almost everything you need but I recommend doing additional research on keyword optimization for ATS scans. The formats are nice and will work well for most people. Overall I think this is perfect for someone who isn't in the market to hire a professional writer but want to develop effective cover letters and resumes. I enjoyed reading it and although I didn't learn anything new, I feel it's an excellent resource for it's target audience.
