Borrow from the library, April 14, 2007
This review is from: Graduate to Your Perfect Job (Paperback)
A good book with some sound ideas to get a job. It does little in helping the reader understand what a "perfect job" for the reader would look like.
To know what type of job you might really enjoy buy, don't borrow,
Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type.
Once you have determined what types of jobs might be for you then you could look at what types of companies might be for you.
This book gives some excellent advice concerning how to get interships, do job shadowing, prepare and get through the interview process, and gives some nice advice on business cards and resumes.
I was once, many years ago, a professional recruiter for General Electric and know what it is to go through a lot of resumes in a day and host three or four applicants in a day. The advice in this book is worth carefully considering.
I find it interesting that the author did not "get a job" but created a job for himself - not something most 18 year olds do. Neither does he have experience in keeping a job in a corporation - something most of us have to do. Nor does he appear to be an expert in helping people "find your focus, Inspiration and Occupation" as the book"s front cover says it will accomplish. There is a lot of difference between being self employed as a motivational speaker and working in a corporation or even working in a small business.
Because this book is used as a textbook in some courses is no reason to buy it.
That said, this book is a good read with some good advice but borrow it before you decide you need to buy it.
