Resume Writing Made Easy Reviewed

'Resume Writing Made Easy' ReviewedAllan Brown is the author of more than 300 resume books and he now teaches you how to write a great resume in his new book 'Resume Writing Made Easy'. So what's so good about this book? You're probably wondering, it doesn't make you look bad! Let me tell you why.The book is well laid out with sample resumes which have been perfectly crafted by Allan Brown. In fact, he says that he wrote these samples himself using templates and parts of real resumes. You can check out his 'signature' style for yourself and see if it is as good as it sounds.Allan Brown clearly illustrates his points so that you get a better understanding of how he wants to structure your resume. I think it's a great idea to lay it all out and just go for it with your own resume! But what I did notice while reading his book was that he makes things too confusing with his lists. It is so easy to get lost when you have thousands of different topics to cover.This is a definite weakness o f mine with Allan Brown's resume writing. It takes away from the idea of focusing on the main point - which is what you're trying to do - and he throws in lots of topics so that he has more to cover. It has been proven that this doesn't work but I think there is something there that will appeal to some of you.For example, Allan Brown asks you to list down your experience but the reason is that he has taken out your education so you are focusing on specific experiences in your job field. He has also done the same for your skills and it is very easy to lose focus. You don't want to talk about all the different things you did for your job for 10 years.Instead, you want to keep that new skill or what you learned from previous projects and focus on what you did in your first few weeks as an employee. Allan Brown's resume writing made easy really makes it simple. It's not about the job experience but rather what the job entailed.Some other weaknesses of Allan Brown's book are that he tend s to show you all the pitfalls when doing research on resumes. He points out that he gets you to use research online but that research is only partially relevant. You must research things on paper because you can't do it online.He does stress the importance of keeping references and business cards, but there is no indication of why you should be using them. He also has good advice for getting people to review your resume in one specific way so that you don't leave out important information.
