5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Read! Extremely Helpful!, January 1, 2011

By 

Jill Sodafsky (Simsbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Get a Great Job in 90 Days or Less (Paperback)

The author is extremely motivational. His tactics seem to relate well no matter how much previous work experience you have or lack. Further, his plan is well thought out, easy to understand, and clearly broken down into categories that seem surmountable. His plan did not scare me - it seemed like a path I could actually follow and not a system that was unrealistic or too time consuming to lead to a profitable result. Joe Carroll's book gave me a very positive outlook on job searching that is hard to stay focused on in the midst of this economic downturn we are faced with. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a little guidance in their quest to find what makes them truly happy and a reminder that a positive attitude is worth so much more than we sometimes give it credit for.

This review is from: How to Get a Great Job in 90 Days or Less (Paperback)

Go for it! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in finding a job fast. The book is packed with very specific action steps. I never really thought about connecting my passions, talents and purpose with a job, but what the author has to say makes a lot of sense. My only regret is not having the opportunity to read it sooner.
I liked the stuff on page 45 about, "Finding jobs means dialing for jobs."
