I bought all three of your books: Knock em Dead Resumes, Knock em Dead Cover Letters, and Knock em Dead: The Ultimate Job Search Guide. I read each book cover to cover. I went for the interview yesterday with a mental health center. They said they would call me by the end of the week. Soon as I got home I wrote a follow-up letter; I mailed it express to get there noon next day. I got the call from the hiring manager within the hour letting me know that I have the job. I think he called me as soon as he put the letter down.

After reading your book, Knock em Dead Resumes, I rewrote my resume and mailed it to about eight companies. The results were beyond belief. I was employed by one of the companies that got my new resume and received offers of employment or requests for interviews from every company. The entire job search took only five weeks.

I read and used Knock em Dead Resumes as I searched for a job. I was called for an interview and was up against ten applicants. To make a long story short, I interviewed on Monday morning and by Monday afternoon knew I had the job.

I have averaged at least an interview per day for the last couple weeks, after two months of very sporadic interview activity. Some of this might be plain good luck, but I think revising my resume and cover letters several weeks ago had a positive effect.
