Excellent value for money and one of the few books that cover the topic of what you do after you obtain your Commercial licence. Indeed, that should read what you do BEFORE you obtain your Commercial pilots licence. Using the information in 'Job Hunting' I managed to obtain a first job float plane position before I even had the float endorsement and that was in addition to being on the north side of age 40. Now working as a Flight Instructor I recommend 'Job Hunting' to Commercial students as both a guide to getting that all important first job and as a bible of inspiration that says, Yes, you too can get a flying job if you follow the tips in Brown's book.
