Suppose you could wave a magic wand and fix your resume — today — and make employers call you with job offers.
Imagine … getting the job you want, doing work you love … bringing home the salary you deserve … taking your family out to dinner to celebrate at your favorite restaurant … telling your friends and neighbors, "I got a new job!"

For the past 23 years I’ve been Managing Director of Perry-Martel International, one of North America’s top firms for executive search, recruiting and placement. I’ve helped hire more than 997 executives and negotiated more than $171 million in salaries.
You’ll find me quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fortune Magazine, and on TV as an employment analyst for CBC News World in Canada.
I’m the co-author of "Guerrilla Marketing for Job-Hunters 2.0" and the author of "Career Guide for the High-Tech Professional."
As a recruiter, I read dozens of resumes every day for a living — more than 100,000 resumes since 1992.
Whether your resume succeeds or fails is based on emotional appeal — the "gut instinct" a hiring pro like me has when glancing at your resume.
That’s right. Your resume has about 3 seconds — a few blinks of the eye — to grab an employer’s attention and make them want to meet you.
If you make that emotional connection, we keep reading your resume to find just one or two logical reasons to justify our first impression. Then we call you for a job interview!
But, if your resume fails to connect with a busy employer in the first 3 seconds, they toss your resume aside or hit the "Delete" key. And that job you want — the one you’re 100% qualified for — goes to someone else.
And if you add up how many jobs you’ve lost out on because your perfecly logical, well-written resume failed to grab employers on an emotional level, well, it’s enough to make you want to scream. But …
I thought I knew everything resumes, but Kevin proved me wrong. Reading one of his resumes was like hearing Jimi Hendrix for the first time. Mind blowing.
I picked up the phone and called Kevin right away. I asked him to help me create a new type of resume that combined the best of my 23 years of experience with his Guaranteed Resumes.
Well, after working together for 5 months, Kevin and I developed a new resume format that is getting people hired for good jobs — right now. It’s called …
"I was struggling … out of work for 8 months. The first 7 months I was using my two-page resume that I think pretty much everyone else uses. My confidence was pretty low. [The Guerrilla Resume] gave me the confidence, it gave me a resume that I felt positive to hand out to anybody. I had a job offer within a month."
"Utilizing your services was hands down, the best decision I have made since beginning my job search. Even with a bad economy there are still jobs out there. I accepted a position today at a school district as a computer system technician. This is a position I was dying for 7 months ago when I found out a friend had gotten it. Well here I am, the dream a reality!"
"I just got an offer today after only 45 days. I went on interviews with 8 companies. I found a job that I think I am going to really love, and if you can believe it, I am getting a $22,000 raise on my base alone!"
"I landed a job in the same industry doing the exact same thing, but making close to six figures, compared to my last job in the low forties. I had 3 interviews and 3 job offers. Thanks. The resume made the difference."
"I used some of your techniques and today received a job offer. I was the only one chosen to interview out of 400 resumes and offered the job at the end of the interview. I will definitely recommend others to your service. Thanks again!"
"I got a call within a week after having no calls forever. A general manager called and said, ‘I didn’t want you to go the weekend without knowing that you’re going to get a call from the sales manager early next week.’ And he called first thing Monday morning."
NOTE: Gail started looking for work on June 7, 2009. From that day until September 21, she had zero job interviews.
After sending out her first Guerrilla Resume on September 21, interviews came quickly. She accepted a new job 51 days later, on November 11, 2009 in a city where unemployment tops 25-30%.
I know you’re probably skeptical, but think about this — if you keep doing what you’ve been doing in your job search, you’ll keep getting the same results.

Warning! If you were ever told to use a functional resume by some career "expert" who hasn’t placed more than 997 executives over 23 years like I have, you were given BAD advice. And it’s wrecking your career. The solution is on pages 33-34.
