5.0 out of 5 stars Has all the answers, November 22, 2006
This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Job Searching: Tools and Tactics to Help You Get the Job You Want (About.com Guides) (Turtleback)
I am about to leave a career that I've worked at for 38 years. This wonderful book arrived just in time for my second career search. When you only know one job it can be hard to know how to find a new career. I can honestly say that now I have several opportunities that I'm ready to explore. This book offers help and advice for everyone, no matter what their age or work situation. I am going to purchase several copies for my friends, some want to work for the first time, and others would like to start new careers. This is the book for all of us!!! Sandy ( a retired teacher from NJ )

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, up-to-date advice, very useful book!, October 29, 2006

This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Job Searching: Tools and Tactics to Help You Get the Job You Want (About.com Guides) (Turtleback)
The Internet and Web keep changing, and as [...] Job Search editor since 1998, Alison Doyle knows what is going on and she shares her knowledge in this book. This book is up-to-date and extensive, and Alison's advice is straight-forward and practical (just like her section of About).

The book is an easy read - points and additional resources are highlighted in the outer margins, chapters and sections are clear and logical. It covers everything from "Choosing Career and Job Options" (Chapter 1) through resumes and cover letters to interviews and evaluating offers (Chapter 14) and more.

This is an excellent book!
