Customer Reviews

Entertaining from cover to cover!

This book really set me off laughing. A great example of making lemonaide from lemons. My favorite letters are the ones where he ads his personal stories. I especially loved the letter to MTV. Can't wait to read the follow up to this this book.

Quick and Funny!

From the title to the last letter this book was a fun and fast read. A real original humor book that gets funnier every time you read it. The fact that this was never meant to be a book in the first place makes the whole concept more hillarious. Great job to the author for its brilliant execution.

Blew me away!

I have never been more skeptical over the hype of a book more than this one. Well for once the hype lived up to my expectations. I loved this book, not just for its humor and originality, but for it's hidden social commentary. The author is smart enough to realize the serious statement that this book makes, though he cleverly disguises it all with humor. Crazy or genius, he puts it all out on a limb and walks away. Hiring practices get a kick in the rear and they don't even know it. Wonderful.

This Book Will Save Your Sanity!!

I'd heard the buzz about Hire Me Dumbass, so I decided to check it out for myself. I bought it and immediately read it from cover to cover as soon as I received it. When I started to read, I wondered if I'd get bored halfway through, as by then the "joke" of these crazy letters would be old. But Joe kept coming up with different scenarios, so the book is fresh, funny, and fabulous from cover to cover! (I laughed so hard that my husband had to close his office door to concentrate while I read.) I'm not sure which letters are my favorite, but there's a part where he "confuses" letters to Kia and Ikea that caused me to hyperventilate. Beyond just being clever, I think the book particularly resonated with me because, I, too am unemployed and have tried practically everything to get hired since my layoff in 2001. It has been so frustrating! But reading what Joe did to keep himself sane not only amused me, but also inspires me! So now every time I have another lousy interview, or get dinged for the perfect job, I only have to read Joe's book to get a smile on my face! Buy this book and you will smile, too! Thanks, Joe... you rock!!

My face hurt I laughed so much!

I read it the first time by myself and I found myself laughing so hard that people on the plane were staring! The second time I read it out loud in front of friends after a dinner party and they were falling off the couch! I know a number of people who have been let go recently and I have recommended this book to them to pick up their spirits. This is a perfect book for the times. These irreverant letters are ones that everyone would like to write and a must read for all HR people.
