From the Author
I really want people to know the techniques that have worked for me every time I've sought new work over the past ten years. As a contractor and permanent employee, I've held dozens of jobs over the past ten years. In the book, I explain how I successfully get work as my contracts end and I need to find new work. Remember, it IS a tough economy right now, but there are still jobs available. Once you discover the tricks and techniques that help you stay on top, you'll learn that a job search doesn't have to be so difficult or time-consuming. You'll learn what to do and what not to do during your job search. Best of all, you'll then be able to apply these techniques to get work more quickly (or get the job you want.) The book isn't just for high-tech folks either. You can apply these techniques to any job search and get employment more quickly. Thanks. Brian Barton

A hidden gem in the job search field,
By Fredrick J. Henley, Jr. (Decatur, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The High-Tech Survival Guide (Paperback)
This book is awesome! It is concise and succinct. The tips are not buried in the midst of long, boring chapters found in most career oriented books. I like the pinpoint precision of the author's advice on breaking the code for finding employment. The advice on the purpose of the corporate Human Resources department is worth the price of book. I have personally experienced several of the things that the author references and now I know why. The best ten bucks I have spent in a long time. I recommend it highly!

Brian Barton May Have Written the Best Job Search Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The High-Tech Survival Guide (Paperback)
The irony is that Brian Barton's book is perhaps the best of its kind only because his suggestions are not common knowledge. The more copies that are sold, the less valuable it becomes. Nonetheless, this shouldn't deter those who desire in the meantime to take advantage of some excellent advice. ...This understandable question is adamantly and unhesitatingly answered in the affirmative.Barton has many insights to share, and unfortunately in our increasingly "free agent" economy---most people will until retirement be job hopping every two to three years. I refuse to sneak out any bits of wisdom from "The High-Tech Survival Guide." The author deserves compensation for his efforts and valued assistance. This is a five star book, and you definitely should obtain a copy. However, I will add some points of my own. It is strongly recommended for all job seekers to use the Internet search engine "Google." One should immediately obtain tons of useful information by merely putting in the phone number of the possible employer. What if they only list their fax number in a newspaper ad to prevent being contacted by either phone or in-person? No problem, querying "Google" by inserting only this number will usually give you the name and address of the company. Also, don't make photostat copies to give to your friends after you purchase this book. They are morally bound to buy their own copy.

Not Just for Dot-Commers,
By Enrique Matosa (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The High-Tech Survival Guide (Paperback)
I picked up this book after a friend recommended it and I couldn't be more impressed. I was most recently in sales at large brokerage house here in Manhattan. I was "downsized" about two weeks ago. Even as a veteran salesman (with 10+ yrs. experience), this book helped me "sell myself" better than I ever knew how to in a job search. Now, I'm gainfully employed again in a company that I hope will weather the latest economic storm. This book is a fast read, I learned a lot and it was very easy to apply these techniques to my job search. I'm not a technology worker, but these techniques worked like a champ for my job search and I'd encourage anyone trying to land work to pick this up.
