Determined to make this a positive experience by tackling the task in new and creative ways, I spent one and a half hours looking through dozens of books on the subject. I chose this one first. But, not until I had looked through dozens more did I come back to THE EDGE and sit down to take a cautious look at its content. At first glance, this is a book packaged to sell and, afraid of "hype-stuff," that made me not trust it initially. (It includes inserts of four-color resumes on real stock inside that, later, I came to find extremely useful.)The authors of the book practice what they preach. <p>I read THE EDGE in its entirety in one sitting, and discovered that after 22 years of being in the job market there were still a few things I didn't know. I reccommend it highly. Even if you find THE EDGE a bit extreme, the strategies presented in it are practical and relevant to today's job market. (One small section includes tips on scannable and electronic resumes. An extensive appendix includes worksheets you can photocopy.) You can aim between THE EDGE ideas and conventional ones, and still come out ahead. Rating: 5 / 5 Resume writing is a daunting task I’ve hated for years.
