Rules for the Present Perfect Tense - see page 11 in the book
1 - The action started in the past and continues to the present.
Example: I have been working at my job for the past 5 years.
(It means I am still there)
2 - The action repeats during a period of time that started in the past and continues to the present.
Example: He has sent out 20 resumes so far.
(It implies that he started and is continuing to send out resumes)
3 - The action occurred at an indefinite time in the past. It still has importance.
Example: Mr. Johnson has received Daniel's letter.
(We don't know when he received it. It happened some time in the past. It is still important to a present situation.)
