Typically things change too quickly to risk using an unrevised reference guide or book older than 1 or 2 years.  But this title may be an allowable exception to the rule.  This is a resume reference guide listing 100’s of keywords, key phrases, and sentence samples by industry and career segment organized by job title.  The industries include:  Accounting to Automotive, Biotech to Computers, Engineering to Executive, Food and Beverage, Government, Health Care to Human Resources, Insurance, Legal, Marketing and Sales, Printing, Real Estate, Science to Service, Technical to Transportation, and Visual and Performing Arts. Plus 400 verbs and adverbs to help kick start sentences for any resume.  This could be the most content rich paperback on the topic of resume keywords available and could be an exceptional help building an artifact packed resume.  Dirk – Project Manager & Professional Recruiter
