Also, I have been listening to Manager Tools and Career Tools regularly since late 2009 and been a huge fan. I've been to the site since late 2007, but I wish I had paid more attention to career tools back then. I am really interested personally in the Personal License and the show notes, and right now the interview creation tool to create an interview for my current job. In June I am planning to get a new job so I could really use the resume workbook and the interviewing series right now too. I can't get all three right now, I can only get one, as I don't really have a steady job and currently my salary is in reais. Over a four to six month period I could most likely spring for another purchase. While I would like the help of the Resume Workbook and Interviewing Series before that time, I have listened to all the podcasts. Any recommendations on which product I should purchase right now?

Teaguek, based on what you've said, I would highly recommend purchasing the Interviewing Series first. That will give you two months to listen (and re-listen!) to the interviewing-specific podcasts, and plenty of time to prepare your resume and accomplishment bullets before you start looking for a new job in June. The shownotes for the "core" interviewing podcasts are very detailed, and you'll also get access to all the shownotes for interviewing-related "public" podcasts. I can't recommend it enough - I got offers for both of my recent interviews, mainly because I was just so darn well prepared!
From my experience, the resume guidance in the Interviewing Series is very detailed - you don't need to buy the Resume Workbook just yet, if money is tight for you. And when you land that awesome new job, you can buy the personal license to help you plan for and NAIL your first 90 days on the job. :-) (The Interview Creation Tool is part of the personal license package, I believe.)
Hope that helps. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I have bought the Resume Workbook and am currently working on it. In July (or when I start going to interviews) I will but the interviewing series.
I am also applying for new jobs and want to have a job lined up by July. Perhaps there would be a product for that as well? Or is it covered in the Resume Workbook/Interview Series and the podcasts?
Also, opinion on purchase

These are all different
These are all different products and each one is well worth the cost.
