This review is from: The Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos (Paperback)

I have worked to help Latinos in their careers for over 20 years. Our community has needed more user friendly job search tools and resources to be successful in today's job market. The Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos delivers that and much more.

The authors clearly understand the needs of Latino job seekers and what employers look for. Their recommendations combine the needs of both worlds into practical strategies that work. They provide easy to follow step-by-step how-to checklists for each stage of the job search process, real examples of Latinos successfully using the book's recommendations, and methods that Latinos can use to open doors at employers to get the job. The list of job search resources alone is worth the price.

A very well-written and comprehensive step-by-step guide for anyone currently looking for work. But Latinos will find this book especially appealing because it focuses on leveraging our values and beliefs during the job search.
