Customer Reviews

If I could hire this book I would

I bought this for one of my classes that was all about job hunting. I would definitly suggest buying it if your ready to seriously start career searching. It was more of a gateway introduction with a good amount of details about cover letters, resumes, and common-sense interview pointers. Its a smaller book so its easy to skim through and read. The only downside to this is that since its a smaller book, it wont go into great details about all the various topics. But after reading this book and ultimately finishing the class with it, I feel like I have a more in depth knowledge about finding the career I want. Having been through more than a dozen interviews in my own life, I was able to learn more than I thought.

Excellent resource!

This book was a required text for my Careers class in college, but I've found it to be a useful reference tool even now that I've graduated. It's really easy to read and give lots of great tips like how to write your resume, draft cover letters, succeed at interviews, even how to negotiate your salary. Plus, I love all the examples in the book. It's very helpful to see actual resumes and cover letters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is entering the job market, whether he/she is a student just graduating or someone looking for a career change.

Get this book if you want to get a job

This book was required in one of my college career classes. I'm really glad it was. I learned more from this book than I would have from experience alone. This book is filled with all sorts of advice and facts about what employers are looking for and how to nail a job interview. If you are looking for a job, or think you might be in the near future, this book is a must have. Any edge you can get on the other applicants is extremely important and this book will teach you how.

Essential tool

I found this book to be an essential tool when job hunting. It is clear and concise. It has essential guidelines for every aspect of looking for the right job. I highly recommend it to everyone.
