Customer Reviews

An excellent resourse for finding an excellent job

While no job can possibly be perfect, this book gives very practical advice on what to do, from the moment one starts thinking about a new job, and up to the moment when one joins in the new position. One of the main strengths of the book is that it reflects the sound opinion of a group of specialists in career matters. There are other strengths. For example, the book addresses aspects that are less frequently addressed, such as how to do self assessments, means to finding one's strengths, types of qualities employers seek, etc. All these aspects prepare one in a thorough manner and improve one's understanding of one's capacities, likes and dislikes, which, in turn, increase one's efficiency in deciding what to pursue and how to have the confidence needed to get the "perfect job." The book is easy to read, to the point, and full of substance. Reading this book opens the eyes of inexperienced job seekers. I fully recommend it and I will use it as reference when talking to job seekers who are looking for advise on how to succeed in getting the "prefect job."

Great book to start finding a perfect job.

The book is a complete guide to help you preparing to find a job. It works very well for me because it cover the latest trend of job Industry in general. The coverage of the industry trend is very important because it helps me to understand where the industry goes and how someone could find their perfect job based on their most interest and abilities. The book also provided with the Self-assessment exercise which also completed with the Personal Job Search Trainer which help me to focus on the job searching. Remember, finding a perfect job could be a full time job. Other aspect about the book that I like the most. It completed with advice from recuriter at 11 leading companies in America.
