Book Review 29: Knock 'em Dead Resumes 12th Edition

Knock 'em Dead Resumes 12th Edition
Martin Yate

When I was browsing for a book in library, I saw a book series called Knock 'em Dead by Martin Yate.
These include Resumes, Ultimate Job Search Guide and Cover Letter.
The editions have a gap of 1 to 2 years between them, which means if you are reading this in 2018 and beyond, you should be looking for at least the 13th edition.

So, what's good about Knock 'em Dead Resumes?
If the header "Over 5 million Knock 'em Dead Books Sold" doesn't hook you in, then this marketing piece "A killer resume get more job interviews" should.
If you are still not sold, then hear the title for the first chapter.
"Your Resume-The Most Financially Important Document You'll Ever Own"

And I have to say the bait was hooked.

The book has samples of before and after resumes.
What should a resume look like and what it shouldn't look like.
A list of keywords that recruiters and employers are looking for.
How the job market works, in brief.
How to create your own "killer" resume.
Samples of resumes which you can use.

Whether you are a fresh graduate or professional seeking to change your job today, this a book you should first read before sending out that the next resume of yours.
