Very good guide.......2007-04-12
A Good Reference for Executive Resume.......2004-03-07
The only drawback of this book is probably only the 'repetitive' phrases and approaches the author used. The examples in the book, claimed by the author, were real-life examples created either by him or his staff. Therefore, as you read through the book you will find similarities in almost all the resumes. Though this is understandable, I personally think this can be improved somewhat.
In terms of usefulness in refernce, I would have given this a 5-star. In terms of value, I will have to settle for a 4-star rating.
Wish to have more different examples.......2003-11-23
The shortfall I found in this book is that most of the examples are pretty similar. Some of the starting phrases are exactly the same, and you find differences in the job descriptions - this is particularly obvious in the Profile section throughout. Considering these resume is original work by the author (and colleagues), I am not surprised (nor disappointed) though I wish for different examples.
But overall, if you have the patience to read through the begining chapters, you most likely will find it a good reference. Good job.
Good Reference for Business Resumes.......2003-07-23
Generally the examples are for business executive resumes--CEO, VP, finance, marketing, etc., and the book is an excellent guide to that type of resume, but it won't help much if you are in a technical, non-executive career path.
This book could probably cut ten hours off of the time it takes to prepare a winning resume, so it is well worth the price.
Much better!.......2003-01-11
As a certified professional, full-time executive resume writing expert, I know that personalized information and details can make all the difference. (NOT to be confused with personal details and information, like hobbies.)
Take care not to copy the resumes in this (or any) too exactly. This makes your resume too "cookie-cutter." It looks just like those created by inexpensive resume writing software (or cheap resume writing services).
As an executive you are certainly looking for a job making more than $75,000 per year. You're attempting to sell a very expensive product of uncertain quality to company management.
This book can help you, but remember that when you are done, you can't afford NOT to have a professional-looking resume and marketing documents with the correct content.
Good Luck with your job campaign...

Gender, Power and Organization: A Psychological Perspective
Paula Nicolson Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0415104033 |
Book Description
Work organizations have become a major site of gender politics for professional women and men over the last twenty years. There are more women in senior positions, but increased opportunities have not been gained without psychological consequences. Rather than detail the barriers to women's success, Paula Nicolson examines the problems they can face as a result. She re-examines the ways that patriarchal structures resist women's progress, and how male success has psychological implications for women's sense of subjectivity, self-esteem and gender identity, and how achieving against such odds has an impact on women's everyday lifes.
Gender, Power and Organization is particularly concerned with women who have achieved or aspire to professional power, and the psychological dimension of power for women, men and the organizations in which they work.

Researching Sexual Violence against Women: Methodological and Personal Perspectives
Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0803973691 |
Book Description
"As the backlash against feminist research continues unabated, this important volume signals no retreat. Bringing together the foremost international researchers in the area of violence against women, Researching Sexual Violence Against Women offers excellent assessments of the dimensions of date rape-particularly on college campuses. Reasons why this form of violence against women has provoked such intense responses as well as new methodologies are thoroughly explored. Finally, the work examines the impact this research has on those who do it and calls for more work on women's victimization and the links between it and other forms of discrimination." --Meda Chesney-Lind, Women's Studies Program, University of Hawaii--Manoa A remarkable introduction to research in the field, Researching Sexual Violence Against Women provides cutting-edge information on the various studies conducted on North American campuses. This compelling book not only provides a strong overview of the entire field but also simultaneously offers an answer to backlash critics who claim that feminists exaggerate their statistics. Several of the best-known researchers describe their own work and that of others to illustrate both large-scale and local studies. The contributors also take a compelling look into the emotions of sexual assault research by discussing their own emotional experiences of working with rape research, including experiences of harassment by subjects or disrespect by colleagues. In addition, several scholars peruse empirical and epistemological questions--and arrive at surprising conclusions-on feminist participatory research into lesbian battering, reflexivity in studying prostitutes, the gendered nature of research interviews, and white women studying battered women of color. Including chapters on very hot topics and celebrating feminist research methodology, Researching Sexual Violence Against Women speaks to a broad audience, including researchers, academics, professionals, and students in the areas of interpersonal violence, social work, sociology, criminology, women's studies, psychology, family studies, and counseling as well as college administrators and mental health practitioners.

Women and Work: A Psychological Perspective
Veronica F. Nieva , and Barbara A. Gutek Manufacturer: Praeger Paperback ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0275915476 |
Book Description
The first volume of Women and Work examines differences among women -- as well as differences between men and women -- related to nationality, ethnicity, social class, and sexual preference. Volume One contains an analysis of earnings differentials. It is an exciting discussion illustrating different explanations for this subject. It concludes that despite the fact that women are seen to be making inroads into various professions (such as business, medicine, and the military), many remain in traditionally 'female', low-paying jobs. Research reveals that when women are employed in jobs traditionally associated with men, they usually receive less pay than their male counterparts.

Stop Breathing My Air
Cortney Dawson Manufacturer: PublishAmerica ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1424116961 |
Book Description
To be frustrated with society and all of its evils is sometimes a major understatement. To have to breathe the same air as some of these contemptuous individuals is a daunting task. The countless frustrations we go through on a day-to-day basis are all illustrated in this mix of laughter and societal justice. Taken along with us on this wonderful ride are coworkers, strangers and family. All of these characters and more are a part of the experiences of a fallen society and how one woman is worn out with bad manners, bad hair and bad fashion. From minivan-driving, coffee-crazed suburban moms to finding (gasp!) pantyhose paired with open toed shoes, this book will have you cringing with familiarity more than you care to admit. Consider this book a primer for what not to do, wear, or say when in public.

ASIN: 0380811278 Release Date: 2004-02-17 |
Book Description
The definitive history of the first 30 years of heavy metal, containing over 100 interviews with members of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Slipknot, Kiss, Megadeth, Public Enemy, Napalm Death, and more.
More than 30 years after Black Sabbath released the first complete heavy metal album, its founder, Ozzy Osbourne, is the star of The Osbournes, TV's favourite new reality show. Contrary to popular belief, headbangers and the music they love are more alive than ever. Yet there has never been a comprehensive book on the history of heavy metal – until now. Featuring interviews with members of the biggest bands in the genre, Sound of the Beast gives an overview of the past 30–plus years of heavy metal, delving into the personalities of those who created it. Everything is here, from the bootlegging beginnings of fans like Lars Ulrich (future founder of Metallica) to the sold–out stadiums and personal excesses of the biggest groups. From heavy metal's roots in the work of breakthrough groups such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin to MTV hair metal, courtroom controversies, black metal murderers and Ozzfest, Sound of the Beast offers the final word on this elusive, extreme, and far–reaching form of music.
