While many recent job-hunting guides emphasize the high-tech aspects of looking for work via electronic job banks and OCR scannable resumes, there is still a need for clear instruction and background on basic job-hunting methods. Segall, the director of a Jewish vocational service job-search program in Cleveland, has refined the often confusing process of looking for work into simple, straightforward steps that do not require computer literacy or marketing expertise. While no new ground is broken, job seekers will not miss the novelty. Instead, they will appreciate the clarity and simplicity offered here: "Imagine that on every employer's head is a So What? machine...Every time you make a statement about yourself...a So What? sign pops up. ...What difference does it make?to THEM?" Segall emphasizes goals, planning, and focus and gives solid tips on why employers hire and how to present work accomplishments in terms that are appealing. The short sentences and conversational writing style may make this a useful guide for less able readers. For career collections.?Mary-Ellen Mort, UC-Berkeley Extension
