"Since 1994, I have examined thousands of résumés by more than 150 résumé writers. Without a doubt, Susan Whitcomb is one of the top 10 among those writers. Her specialty is taking an average résumé and turning it into a masterpiece. If you want to look over her shoulder to see how she does it, check out her first book, Résumé Magic (JIST Works, 1999), which is itself a masterpiece on résumé writing."
