Take what it says with a grain of salt... September 20, 2008
Brandon Kilian (Minnesota)

This is by no means, a book that I'd read for pleasure. I only bought it to pass the class and to graduate. A lot of info in this book, contradicts what the real world will tell you to do.
Prime example is being the resumé... don't follow the format this book advises you to, and certainly do NOT use the words that they suggest to use in your resumé. Not only have I seen multiple times online that most of the words should NEVER be used in a resumé, but I've talked to MANY interviewers who also say to never use the words suggested in this book.
Take what is stated in this book with a grain of salt, the class is strictly just a gen ed, so treat it like one.
