Please Note: While there are many excellent books dealing with job search and career issues, the focus of Nationally Certified Resume Writer (NCRW) Continuing Education is on resume and cover letter writing.
Gallery of Best Resumes and other "sample" books are great for reference purposes. They do not meet the criteria for NCRW Continuing Education requirements, because a large percentage of their content is comprised of samples. NCRW's Approved Books focus on issues related to resumes and cover letter writing. They typically include resume or cover letter in the title.
