This review is from: 1000 Best Job Hunting Secrets (Paperback)

1000 Best Job Hunting Secrets is a great resource not only for people currently looking for work but also for those who may make a change in the future. Easy to read, well organized. An old saying is if you get one good recipe from a cookbook you are ahead of the game. You will get far more than one job-hunting recipe from this book. Carol Smith, www.FeatureStories.biz
