In the latest edition of the College Grad Job Hunter, Brian D. Krueger, a post-college career authority, provides a highly targeted book on job hunting skills for recent college graduates. While others seeking entry level jobs can benefit, the emphasis is on how to prepare while you are still in college or just graduating. As such, it is a solidly written and well-organized book that views job hunting as a process and provides step-by-step techniques for searching for that ideal job. It is a useful how-to manual even if it duplicates some of the advice in other books, such as What Color is Your Parachute? Krueger helpfully includes sample letters, phone messages and job hunting Web sites and books. We recommend this good, basic book for all novice job hunters (not just freshly-minted college grads).

I have recommended this book to so many of my friends, I wouldn't be doing it justice if I didn't write a review here as well.

I purchased this book just about a year ago, and I now find myself in the great job that it helped me to land (in a very challenging environment) with a Big Five Consulting company. Krueger offers tips in all of the necessary categories from start to finish, from resumes to job fairs to interviews to salary negotiation.

I remember re-reading the relevant chapter before each step in the hiring process with my current employer. Every step of the way, this book offered tips that helped me to seal the deal. For the [money] you'll pay, you can't find a better investment. You'll never approach the job search the same way again!

This book covers the entire job search process, from selecting your chosen field to finding the job. It was especially helpful for me, as an international student seeking my first job here in the U.S. Everything was easy to understand, but also gave the level of detail I needed. In the end, I felt like I was in control, instead of just waiting for others. Highly recommended to all college students.

Well, so I just bought this book, and, yeah, it's pretty useful. However, I looked on their web site, www.collegegrad.com, and, apparently, "Want the straight story on how to find a job? The job search advice at this site is direct from the #1 best-selling book for entry level job search, "College Grad Job Hunter" by Brian Krueger. The entire contents of this book are online here at our site, available to you for free!" So do what the nice man says, and don't throw your money away on actually buying the book, like I did.

I have come a long way with this book. I found it at a flea market for $1 right after I finished college. I used some of the techniques to move from a dead-end job, to an entry-level job in an industry I wanted to actually be in. I later became a career counselor, and now I am writing a course and I am considering having this book as a required reading for our curriculum. Buying this book for one dollar was the smartest purchase I have ever made.

I spent the weekend reading the book. On Monday I booked a flight to New York City to try my luck. By Thursday I had two outstanding offers from two incredible companies that I thought that I could never get as a college graduate. Brian provides you the momentum to utilize your creativity in landing the job that you want. Is it a surprise that I out competed applicants with more experience then me? Read the book to find out!

I've been checking an earlier edition of this book out of the public library. But I finally decided to buy it. Anyone, recent college grad or not, should have this book handy during the job search. I've looked at a lot of books on this topic, and Krueger's is BY FAR THE BEST. He doesn't insult his readers' intelligence with unnecessary extras. He bluntly tells it like it is. I cannot recommend this book more highly.

I have read many titles on this topic. This book is UNMATCHED in its ability to get to the heart of the matter... By following the techniques suggested in the book, I was successful in generating multiple interviews. I was made an offer of employment by EVERY company that I applied to (including Fortune 500, and BIG5). I have since been head-hunted by companies from overseas. Just follow the techniques suggested in the book..... and you will secure the job of your dreams. TRY IT!

Before reading this book I had zero job offers. After reading this book I was able to prepare myself professionally with the right answers for those tough interview questions! Then with my new interview techniques, I had generated two great offers from fortune 500 companies! This book was my bible and traveled everywhere with me. Thank you Brian Krueger!

My wife and I have purchased several different job hunting books and found them all to be geared toward people with a wealth of real world experience in their field, not college grads. Mr. Krueger's approach is a very aggressive one, but like he says if you do everything that he suggests, you will get a great first job, GUARANTEED !!! I have highly recommended this book to every college student I know looking for a great job and will continue to. This is one book that I don't even lend to my closest friends because I value it so much! Buy yours today, you won't be disappointed
