Customer Reviews

Good enough to be used as a textbook

I am a college professor who teaches a career course and found this book to be good enough to use in the classroom. It covers all aspects of the job search and does a great job asking insightful questions of the reader. There are many pages of fill-in-the-blank questions where the reader can prioritize, set goals, and conjure up strengths. It is a very practical guide in helping someone search for a job, whatever stage of their career they may be in.

An excellent resource for anyone entering the job market!

This book gave me everything I needed to prepare a solid resume. Even when I was unsure about which words to use, "The Job Searcher's Handbook" had an entire list of words that got the attention of my new employer. I have loaned this gem of a book to at least 6 other people and all of them have raved about it. If anyone is looking for the comprehensive, easy to read guide to getting a job, changing careers, writing resumes, etc. "The Job Searcher's Handbook" is certainly it. Carolyn Robbins has a winner!
