Worth its weight in gold ... There are loads of 'the perfect CV' books on the market but Sarah Berry's Write a Perfect CV in a Weekend is different. Why? Because it begins: Relax and pour yourself a drink - perhaps even a strong one You are in for the weekend of your life'. Any book that can advocate a realistic look at your career (with the aid of alcohol) can't be at all bad. It's an easy read with sections on how to evaluate your CV from an employer's viewpoint; you also have the chance to 'grade' your CV out of 100. Well worth its money.

It's hard to think of any better way to improve your career prospects in a single weekend. Most members will be familiar with the industry standard type of CV but this book deals with the subject on a much wider front. It explains the approach you will need if your career is to advance into fields where mere technical competence is not enough. It deals with covering letters and other peripheral matters. It also has suggestions for dealing with those difficult situations, such as hard-to-explain blank patches and bizarre changes of direction.

'I am writing to inform you of the success I have received after purchasing a copy of "Write a perfect CV in a weekend". After numerous rejections, I took a step forward and purchased a copy of your book. With my new CV I applied for one job and received an application. From, the skills I learnt in your book I also used to complete my application form, within 2 weeks I had successfully completed my 2 interviews and practical tests and secured a position. This was the first position I applied for and was successful within 3 weeks of reading your book. I will definitely recommend your book to friends and colleagues who are in a similar position, Thanks again' says Colin.
