Highly recommended!

For a book that tells you not to send a resume, the author spends an awful lot of time telling the reader how to write resumes (or "resu-letters") and what to do with them next. Don't be fooled by the clever title. Jeffrey J. Fox hasn't banned resumes, he simply wants you to understand how to write versions that will work for you. He explains what to do - and not do - to land a terrific job. In bite-sized chapters that get right to the point (in a book so small you could fit it into a leprechaun's briefcase), he guides you through job-hunting research, planning and marketing the product of you. Some of what he offers is innovative; some is standard, common-business sense. Even if you only dig out a few gems, we note that this is a fine place to begin your job search - and a very fine place for job search beginners.

"Don't Send a Resume" Re-Titled and Back in Print

This book was originally published in 2001 under a different name. After the success of Jeffrey J. Fox's subsequent books, it's now been released in a new edition. If you don't own the first edition, "...Dream Job" is highly recommended for its unconventional advice. The premise remains as valid seven years later as it did when it was first published: Resumes don't get you jobs. Fox hammers the point home again and again, almost to the point of repetition. It's not his strongest book, but it's still better than most other business books on the market.

Gift to all your job searching friends

Fantastic! Jeffrey Fox has done it again. All of the right moves for all the right reasons distilled into a concise manual that you can take just about anywhere.

A Skeptic Admits it Worked Beyond Her Wildest Dreams

I stared at this book on three different occasions before I shelled out the money and bought it in mid-February of 2007. I was convinced it would be useless, but I read it and applied some of the tips to my interview process for a senior level position with one of the toughest companies with which to land a job.

On March 29th, I was offered my dream job and nearly triple my salary at this company in the top ten of the Fortune 500.

It's not rocket science, but Fox touts the value of marketing oneself as you would a company or product. It requires a lot of hard work, but in my case, the results were almost immediate. The chapters are short and to the point, but rich with little nuggets of information from suggested questions to ask during an interview to checklists during the interview process. Following his recommendations, I walked into interviews knowing as much about the company as the people interviewing me and capable of branding myself as the best candidate for the position.

If I could give the man a hug, I most certainly would, because he just helped change my life.
