We are so pleased to share that our best-selling book, MODERNIZE YOUR RESUME, is now available in a completely updated and expanded 2nd edition.
In the 3 years since original publication, we've seen a few things change but much remain the same in the world of resume writing and job search—and we expound on those things in this latest version of the book.
What's New?

We devote an entirely new section (3 chapters) to the special challenges faced by people changing careers, transitioning from the military, and returning to work after an extended absence. Yes, you can write a resume that positions you for what you want ... highlights your strengths and value ... and focuses on the positive rather than the challenging circumstance.
