Well Written.......2007-03-14

This is a short but well written tool to use in writing cover letters. It doesn't cover much "theory", but rather an assortment of examples for different situations. It also has example letters for thing such as requesting career advice, reference letters, resignation, and networking. It sticks to the basics but has better writing and examples than most other books I've seen.

for professionals with experiance.......2007-02-13

I saw other people complaining about the content. I personally thought the book ROCKED, except I do agree that it is not for those who are going from college with little or no exp. to a full time position.

This book had great examples of networking letters, advice seeking letters, resume letters, and of course excellent advice on cover letters.

It gave clear step by step instructions with examples on how to match your cover letter to the job offer. Sounds simple, but a lot of other books miss it.

Great.......2001-10-22

I found the book to be clear, concise, and well written. It addresses key points to cover letter writing, and illustrates them with examples.

It is an excellent guide for those who have an employment history. However, it does not address the needs of recent college graduates who are looking for their first job. I am assuming that this need would be covered by another publication. This omission does not detract from its usefullness to the intended audience.

POOR EXAMPLE.......2000-10-06

I did not like this book as it did not give me too many good examples of cover letters I also found it geared towards the industrial professions, I found it too tedious. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is just coming out of school.

A must have reference for job seekers! The best!!.......1998-07-02

This is the best book of its kind! The author shows the reader how to create an original cover letter with impact. He gives examples of elements of both good and bad cover letters. Additionally, he gives example cover letters for a variety of situations, as well as thank you, follow-up, and networking letters. I reviewed a few different books from my library before I decided this was one that I must have.

I may be a complete idiot, but..........2006-05-10

What a disappointment! This book is really geared towards people with a wealth of experience. Every example seems to cite 12 years of X, successful projects in Y, AND you're friends with the hiring manager. (I'd assume, though, that with all that under your belt, you've probably written a cover letter or two.) If you're a new grad or don't have a background in your field, you're not going to find much help here.
Another issue I had with the book - the resumes can be incredibly corny. I like puns and googled quotes as much as the next person, but I would never include them on a resume. I found a lot of the resumes lacked sophistication in exchange for a more 'personal, informal' tone.
Overall, I didn't get much help from the book and would recommend passing on this one.

Not too great for New Grads.......2004-01-25

This book does offer some good tips but I wish that it had a better section for New Grads. If you've been in the business world for a few years then this book does offer some good advice. However, if you're just out of school, you might want to consider another book.

Great Book.......2000-10-12

Great book!

You can forget about writing boring cover letter that is becoming predictable by using this book as a guide.

Susan did a great job by using lots of example, regardless of the situation you are in.

Book Description

In classrooms and in living rooms, in research institutions and on Capitol Hill, teenage pregnancy is one of the most controversial public issues of our day. Yet after all the investigation and government effort, what is really known about the problem of adolescent pregnancy and how to deal with it? And what is the role of the social scientist and historian in a public issue of this kind? In this study, Maris Vinovskis--a prominent demographic historian and a participant in both Carter's and Reagan's Presidential initiatives on teenage pregnancy--sets these questions within a historical framework and discusses a host of current issues and policy considerations. Vinovskis begins by examining adolescent sexuality and childbearing in early America and evaluating whether there has in fact been an "epidemic" of adolescent pregnancy in American history. In the following chapters, he addresses the rise of adolescent pregnancy as a national issue and assesses the government's response to it, both in Congress and the Presidency. Bringing his unique qualifications as a historian and a policy planner to his study, Vinovskis offers readers a provocative new context for understanding a pressing public issue of the 1980s.

Exploring the application and formulation of the EM algorithm, The EM Algorithm and Related Statistical Models offers a valuable method for constructing statistical models when only incomplete information is available, and proposes specific estimation algorithms for solutions to incomplete data problems. The text covers current topics including statistical models with latent variables, as well as neural network models, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. It describes software resources valuable for the processing of the EM algorithm with incomplete data and for general analysis of latent structure models of categorical data, and studies accelerated versions of the EM algorithm.

Lack of simplified examples makes the book hard to read and apply the tools to business questions. Requires a lot of effort to translate the contents for applying to real-world problems.

fantastic insight into the European novel.......1999-06-24

All of Franco Moretti's in-class charm and wit is demonstrated in this series of essays on various forms of the European novel. He does a fantastic job of legitimizing not only popular texts, such as Dracula and the Sherlock Holmes series, but also the field of literary criticism itself. He makes a compelling argument for not only the profound effect that society has had in forming literary trends, but also literature's role in shaping society. His essay on Tragedy in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama contains some particularly fascinating insights into this phenomenon. While written in a colloquial tone, some essays can come across overly mandarin at times. Get through the first and most difficult essay, 'The Soul and the Harpy', and the rest will be smooth sailing. He makes his field seem almost, dare I say, 'cool'.
