As someone who does a lot of hiring I have to say reading the same type of resume with standard cliche phrasing can quickly become tiresome. And as the job market is currently quite competitive finding new ways to stand out and showcase one's skills has become more relevant than ever before. This book is a valuable resource for those seeking employment in creative fields but also in general for those who are looking for ways to set themselves apart from the rest of the job seeking crowd.

The layout of the book is very user friendly and offers much more than just resume pointers. It explains a lot of trends and offers a lot of resources and examples. If you've never attempted to create an infographic resume before, this is the perfect book for you, as it will guide you through the process step by step. For those who've already created infographic resumes before this book offers tool to take their resume creating game to the next level.

Thankful to Netgalley and McGraw-Hill Professional for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I keep thinking about how ahead of its times this book was. I was still just leaving high school, so it made very little sense to me then, but the more I look at it I feel like I should have treasured it more.

It talks about a lot of hiring strategies that are now the norm, how we can be creative in pitching ourselves as a person.
In my personal opinion, going too creative has still not landed me any gigs, so I am a bit skeptical, but all in good measure.
