Customer Reviews

Simple and Straightforward; A Helpful Book

I wrote this review originally in Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Yor Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia;The title page reads: "A simple, straightforward job-search book for people who would rather be working than reading a book" It is 88 pages long and is packed with creative pointers. It begins by disucssing your attitude and ends by telling you how to handle a job offer. Included are sections on identifying your skills, researching the job, doing well on interviews, finding leads, and managing your time. One section covers disability issues.

A must-have for all job seekers

This book is a comprehensive and easy to read manual for job seekers. It covers not only the standards of job search (resumes, cover letters, etc.), but also the more elusive points of a successful search: networking, interviewing, and using the telephone. It offers some creative ideas to set you apart from the crowd. Equally important, it is designed to be a reference manual with easy to find sections and lots of tables and charts. As a career coach, I have read hundreds of books on resumes and job search and can tell you that this is by far the bible of job search. It is truly a must-have for all job seekers.
