This review is from: 100% Job Search Success (Paperback)

Not really worth it for a book... very simple things that can be self taught or should be common sense. Also MSN Careers, or similar websites, have TONS of articles that cover the EXACT same info! For free! Imagine that! But of course this book was needed for a class that I was required to take. The instructors quizzes feature questions that were similarly worded and needed 'exact answers' from this book.

To expand on the reason I put 'self taught' above is that I believe job seeking should be a very personal and unique experience. Not ever interview should be exactly laid out as it is in this book. If so, the world would be a VERY boring place.
