Resume Forensics - How to find resumes on the internet

Written by Jim Stroud on May 12, 2008 – 7:09 am -

Well guys, its been a long time coming (or at least, it felt like it), but Resume Forensics is now available. Before I tell you how to get it however, I want to say a few words. First and foremost, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! (and again…) THANK YOU!

I have received so many emails, blog comments and phone calls about Resume Forensics than I have on… umm… anything I can think of. Your support is very much appreciated and genuinely touches my heart. As a matter of fact, it makes me want to share even more with you than I had originally planned. Initially, I was sending a copy of Resume Forensics only to those on my email list. Well, some of my RSS subscribers had an issue with that. (I heard you.) Also, there were some who asked me questions (lots and lots of questions) about what specifically was in my book and what industries it will address and sundry other items. I am well aware that I can not please all of the people all of the time, but I do want to make my subscribers and future purchasers of Resume Forensics happy. Towards that end, I am amending my original offer with (I think) a much better offer.

I am (still) giving away Resume Forensics, but not selling it right away. I want you (and whomever you share it with) to read it thoroughly, let me know what you love and hate about it and make suggestions on how to improve it. Inside of the book and on the download page, is a link to a survey where you can add in your opinion of my work. This will help make the next version of Resume Forensics new, improved and ready for the “primetime” of being for sale at your local bookstore.

Also on the download page is a form for you to add your email address. This is separate from your subscription to The Recruiters Lounge and will be used (only) to advise you when Resume Forensics v2.0 will be on sale. Consider it a waiting list, as I am not sure how many books will be created in my first printing and I want to make sure that I have enough (and not too much). Cool? As an added incentive to joining the waiting list for Resume Forensics v2.0, someone will be chosen at random and awarded a special surprise. (I would tell you now, but then it would not be a surprise would it?)

Finally, if you have not already, connect with me on LinkedIn or (even better) Twitter.

Okay, so that’s it for now. To go to the special download page click here, or click the image below. And again, FILL OUT THE SURVEY AFTER YOU REVIEW THE MATERIAL. I really want version 2.0 to be far superior to the beta version and I need your feedback to accomplish that. Thanks in advance!

Oh, did I mention that I added a “Tip Jar” on the download page as well? (Buy me a round at Starbucks (or a new car) and I will be most grateful.

Happy Hunting!
