if there were 100 stars I'd rate it 100

I'm in a occupation that has been decimated by the current economic crisis- residential construction. I'm also in business that for years never even used resumes. My mind doesn't think in resume terms. I worked for many years by "word of mouth". But, times have changed, and resumes are the thing. I have agonized for months on trying to get a resume together. I've read information on [...] and other sites on making resumes but I wasn't looking for how to format it, but information on what am I really supposed to be conveying. This book goes into who is looking at your resume and what they are looking for. The book, in my mind, payed for itself many times over in it's take on ageism, which is right at the beginning. It helped with me completing the resume but also in how I answer job ads. What this book helped me put together was a resume that was "me". She led me away from from constantly second guessing myself and obsessing about "who" I am trying to address the resume to and how do I tweak it for what that "audience" may want(which pretty much sabotaged my making any resume at all.) I just finished my resume today and it's not perfect, but, of course, but, I'm confident with it. I cried when I finished it- that how hard it was for me to do and how relieved I was to complete it. For me this is one of those rare, rare books that truly helped me in a difficult time.
