    ⭐This book has been very helpful in finding the right words/phrases to use in cover letters in various occupations and industries. It is also helpful with resumes. I would recommend it!

    ⭐I found this book and the library and I liked it so much I had to buy it, so I could look at it any time I wanted.

    ⭐Not found.

    ⭐As a reviewer pointed out, the book is full of extraneous information and lean towards the personal side. It goes into sending audio clips along with cover letters in addition to attaching “job fair” letters and “prospect” letters, none of which I have heard of. The examples are way too personal and you will see that for most of the advice,there often are common exceptions and departures that should be included in the book. There are a few good solid tips, but it gets lost in the examples. The reader raises more doubt as the reading feels a little bit opinionated than based on factual.Perhaps it is because I feel this book isn’t tailored to the profession I am looking for, but it just seems inappropriate at times. Best to just ask friends and family to have a quick look at your resume than to purchase this book.
