• I still haven't received this book after one month!
  I contacted with the seller, reminding him/her to send the book, after 2-3 weeks, a few days later, I was told I would recerve it. But, until now, I am still kept waiting.

• Recruiters were practically knocking down my door!
  This is a great book! I posted my competency-based resume on Monster.com at 2AM. By morning I had two voicemails and three emails from recruiters for interviews and over the next week I was flooded with calls and emails! I wanted to change my number! I owe it all to this book. It has several examples on competency-based resumes for various stages in your career. It teaches you how to highlight your strengths and get the job YOU want! I highly recommend it!

• Results!
  Since I have applied Ms. Kessler's innovative approach to my own resume, I have been selected to interview for each senior level position I have submitted for. Now the rest is up to me. I highly recommend both her books, they provide the most current techniques in competency-based and behavioral approaches to resume writing and the interview process. The format is clear and concise with excellent real-life examples across a variety of industries. A must resource!
