Format:Paperback
This has to be the ultimate job search reference book available on the market today. I have purchased several books with similar claims in the past; however they never lived up to my expectations. What sold me to write this review is the fact that the book acts like a personal mentor to you during the whole job hunt process. It gives you a tremendous confidence booster and opens up doors of opportunities for you to really get creative and result driven. Don't fool yourself by thinking that activity and accomplishment is the same thing. This book is all about accomplishments and results. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are a new grad or a veteran, this book will show you how to maximize your worth in the market today. Believe me when I say this, a wrong job hunt approach can really be discouraging to your self image (been there done that), so do it right the first time. Buy this book, you can't go wrong.

The best guerrilla tactic for an author is to write a great book.

The New York Post said: "to the jaded hacks at @work, it often seems there are as many job-search experts as actual people looking for jobs. While some of their counsel is terrific, it's rare to find an expert whose advice... Read more
