Nice Guide for Beginners.......2007-06-16
The author writes a nice overview of the entrepreneurial process. It's basically for novices but it does a good job for this audience. The only problem I have with this book is that it is too basic and is therefore non-unique because it is so low-level. Regardless, I must say that for the right audience, it does a fine job over giving the big picture.
If you are advanced or aspire to become advanced, I would recommend "The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs" but only for high-tech entrepreneurs. Even this author has recommended it.
A Must-Have for Entrepreneurs.......2007-05-14
Steven gives great illustrations to drive home his insightful advice for entrepreneurs. As he's "been there, done that," we can take his advice to heart in the hopes of becoming a success like him!
Exellent Book.......2007-05-11
Great book for getting ready to open a new business. Would refer to anyone thinking about opening a business.
Brief and to the point.......2007-04-27
This is a delightful little book that contains a wealth of useful and helpful information and ideas on starting a small business and ensuring that it is viable and succesful. The book is well written and easy to follow and interesting to read.
This is a must read for entrepreneurs, particularly budding ones as the information the book provides is very practical and can help you avoid making costly errors. The book covers a wide range of topics including the start-up process, marketing the business on a small budget, cash-flow forecasting, among other things.
The book is an excellent companion for the entrepreneur that is well worth having.
Invaluable advice for the budding entrepreneur.......2007-03-04
This book does a terrific job of presenting some of the most important issues entrepreneurs face when embarking on new ventures, touching on topics such as the business plan, funding, team building, and cash flows. Using simple, yet stunningly accurate models of the entrepreneurial process, Steven Gold distills complex subjects into simple, practical, take-away messages. The classification of entrepreneurial personalities (professionals, pragmatists, and inventors) is something I think we can all relate to. I find the metaphor which compares building a new company to making "stone soup" equally compelling. There are countless books out there for budding entrepreneurs, but this one is no fluff. It gets right down to the nuts and bolts so you can concentrate on your business.

Creating Your Career Portfolio.......2005-01-20
This is at best a good civic lesson for a grade school, freshman in High School class text. No real employer would ever find this portfolio professional or useful. It presents a lot of hype, fluff, and encourages the reader to overstate and exagerate his skills.
A book for high school kids.......2002-04-30
I bought this book hoping for a serious advice for a professional portfolio creating, but found a bunch of recommendations good for high school-freshmen on how to best present their non-professional expereinces... How a real professional's portfolio looks like - is still a question for me... It seems like a portflio created following these guidelines would make a seasoned professional, an employer, smile at "the kid's nice attempt".
Top-Notch.......2001-04-30
Finally, a book that is perfect for both professionals and students! (See also the trade version) Williams and Hall take readers through the step-by-step creative process. Complete with materials and equipment lists, this book also provides templates on disk to help those who are less experienced with technology. This books makes a wonderful instrument as a college text.
Professionals and students alike will find that they are better prepared for that all-important interview just by going through the creative process. The authors take the reader through the process of developing a portfolio by leading the creator to think critically about their own philosophies, goals, and ideas. This mental exercise alone makes one better prepared to answer those "difficult" interview questions.
A must have for serious professionals!
Book Description
A 192-page book, Real-Resumes for Students shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped students launch a career after graduation from college, technical or professional school, or graduate school. Real-Resumes for Students is based on the philosophy that students have particular problems when they approach resume preparation and job hunting. Students are usually seeking their first professional position and they must figure out how to present in a meaningful fashion work experience such as waitress, tutor, intern, student teacher, volunteer, residence hall counselor, and sorority president. The Table of Contents is designed to present actual resumes of real individuals with varying degrees ranging from accounting and computer programming, to sports administration and veterinary technology. The theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words, and all resumes and cover letters shown in the book have been handpicked. There are numerous resumes which illustrate how to show clinical rotations and internships on a resume, and the editor also gives insight into how to use volunteer work and achievements to maximum advantage. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that student resumes are the most creative (and the most difficult to write) because they must sell potential rather than experience.
All resumes in the book are one page in length, and all resumes are accompanied by a companion cover letter. The book begins with a brief section explaining the most effective job-hunting approachthe direct approach. This unique how-to book does not simply tell how to write an effective career-change resume and cover letter; it shows how in page after page of meaty examples.
Other titles in the series being released in the year 2000 are: Real-Resumes for Teachers, Real-Resumes for Career Changers, Real-Resumes for Sales, and Real Essays for College & Grad School.

Good information but expensive for such a small book.......2006-11-10
I am an international PhD in Finance. I found this book useful and interesting as an overview but it is expensive for its size. I would better recommend getting "Economical Writing, Second Edition' by D. McCloskey.
