This book is really insightful to those who are still earning their undergrad degrees. It offers many tips on resume writing, networking, and assessing ones own skills. If I were a junior in college this would have been a great source of information and inspiration. However, for someone who has been out of school for a short period of time, it doesn't offer much in the way of career guidance. It does offer good tips on graduate school and how to find the program that is right for you depending on what type of job you are interested in after. It also lists all the professional associations for a political scientist.

This book may be somethat interesting for polisci majors when they are first starting out, but once a person has their degree and their resume, it is not worth the time to read it.

This review is for the Kindle verison.
One of the first problems that I noticed with this on my Kindle is that it is very slow each time I need to go to the next page. And no the memory is not full nor do I have music files on my Kindle. Compared to the other ebooks that I have this one is slow.
Second, there are at least five pages or locations if you will on the Kindle that the text is small but when you go to the next page the text is back to normal; or whatever setting you have selected as your font size. For example location 76-83; 255-60, 335 are just a few that the text is small but text returns to normal on the next page.
Third the way it has been copied to ebook format needs to be inproved; there are pages where there is a large gap between words; copying from the way it is on the Kindle to here as an example of what I am talking about "Others involve a general understanding of politics....." See there should not be a gap like that.

OK for the material itself; some of it is as another reviewer has stated something that is already known. The resume and cover letter section; although common knowledge per-say; for me it was nice to refresh the memory about writing a resume and cover letter.

Overall if this book is available at a library better of checking it out rather than buying it or simply borrow it from someone that has it.
