This book is completely idiotic. Why is that? Oh... right.
I can't decide which is more depressing, the Katrina book or this one. Maybe this is another sign that I should just stay unemployed for the rest of my life; so far I love it even more than I'd anticipated. And I don't think this kind of thing -- resume writing -- agrees with me. I'm much more comfortable writing stupid comments on other people's book reports than I am trying to make myself sound like a total asshole in some bizarre, gnarly format that some hoard of flesh-eating middle-managing zombies evidently willed or inbred into existence purely to make the rest of us feel sick.
Instead of writing a resume and a cover letter about what a pompous, obnoxious asshole I am, why can't I just write a sonnet or a limerick about the joys of social services, and submit that? Or maybe a book report about something I read once? Or, well, pretty much anything other than this?
Agh, agh, I'm not fit for this world.
Help!

July 17, 2010It was OK. Not the most useful, VERY basic, but if you are desperate for help, it's OK. I'd recommend How To Say It On Your Resume MUCH above this one.

Very useful at that time. I would recommend something updated with the current trends. Readers of Resumes tend to be fickle. What was necessary last month may be taboo this month.

This copy: missing first thirty pages; samples following p135 remaining to be examined.
