Format:Paperback
This guide to job hunting may provide a practical boost if you're looking for a job. It recaps some of the most widely known and broadly discussed tips about job seeking, and presents them clearly and concisely. Though it has little that is brand new, it does put some things in a different, positive light. Author Todd Bermont backs up his book with a website and provides details about his 10 recommendations. While they may not really be secrets, they amount to an organized 10-step path to finding a new and better job. Bermont is chatty, and uses conversational (as opposed to textbook) grammar, as he boosts your self-confidence and assures you that the perfect job is out there, if you search for it the right way. His first three steps urge you to deal with your own assets and wishes before you begin to contact prospective employers. However, once you are ready for that step, he makes sure you know how to proceed with the right resume, contact strategy and interview technique. We recommend this book to those who are searching for entry level or mid-level jobs. It may not be quite sophisticated enough to open doors into the executive suite, but when you're out of work your job becomes finding a job - and this book will help.

The best career advice I was given recently was to buy the book "10 Insider Secrets to a Winning Job Search." I did so because I was at a point to where I didn't know what I wanted to do for a living or how to get the job I wanted after I figured it out.
This book helped me in both areas. To get the most out this book, don't skim through it or read it all at once. Instead, treat it like a you would taking a course. It won't necessarily be as easy as the title would lead you to believe, because the book guides you through a process of self-discovery and positioning yourself to succeed. Both of which requires time and energy. But if you work with it, it can really help you focus on what's important to you in a career and in life. Since you have to work for most of your life, the key is to get a job that will make you feel proud and satisified.
I recommend this book to everyone who's trying to work through the frustrations of deciding what to do and how to pay the bills without losing your mind or your essence. I also recommend the author's workbook called "10 Insider Secrets: Career Transition Workshop." Both worked for me. If you are bummed out and tired of being frustrated this book will be a shining light that will help you succeed.

Unlike other job-hunting books that have been in print for over 30 years, this book is filled with fresh ideas for today's tough times. It is conversational and speaks to me.
