Advice everyone can benefit from!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Hired: How to Sell Yourself (Hardcover)
The advice that Mr. Costanzo gives in this book is superb! Both my husband and I have had many successful interviews in the course of our careers and wondered what we could learn from reading "Getting Hired...". However, there are several suggestions and points made which neither of us had really considered. Recently, my husband followed some of Mr. Costanzo's suggestions and was offered a better position (promotion) with another company! We credit Mr. Costanzo is helping him take his career to the next level!

An honest-to-goodness "how to" book. Well worth it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Hired: How to Sell Yourself (Hardcover)
Easy to read, straight forward approach to getting hired. It didn't just tell you what NOT to do, but what TO DO. Highly recommended, especially for those just entering the workforce. Should be required reading for every college student.
