5.0 out of 5 stars Quick summary of all the things one forgets and some new ide, September 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Hired When Times Are Tough -- Find That New Job and Boost Your Career (Digital)

Found this a good reminder of some of the things about looking for a new job that I forgot after being in the same job for so long. I also had never tried the informational interview route, and it's proving a great way to discover what moves I could make. A real advantage of this kind of summary of so many things is it shows me where I need to expand my knowledge further and what I don't have to worry about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning What You Need to Know, September 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Hired When Times Are Tough -- Find That New Job and Boost Your Career (Digital)

Great guide. It helped me find out what I didn't know and had to learn about looking for a new job when working. Good reminders about being careful not to be careless and let your colleagues and supervisors discover what you are doing just because you are so comfortable at your current job. Also helpful to those of us who last job-hunted before the Internet--and that was not that long ago. For example, it was nice to realize that this time around I don't have to spend a lot of time and money (fancy paper, etc.) on my resume.

Last time I job hunted was so long ago (got caught by a downsizing a few months ago) I'd forgotten a lot about the process and was a nervous wreak. This really helped me organize my thoughts and get my act together. I felt free to call people for help getting informational interviews who I never would have called to ask for help getting "in" someplace. Those interviews made me realize my weakness so I'm taking some courses before I go out there. I loved not having to read a whole book for a few ideas. Short and to the point was just what I needed.
