1.0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding me?, December 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Instant Interviews: 101 Ways to Get the Best Job of Your Life (Paperback)
I bought this book because it had 113 5 star reviews and no, not one, review lower than 5 stars. I should have known something was not right as that just doesn't make sense to have 100% 5 star reviews in the open public rating system.

I have been an executive recruiter for the past 8 years, a successful one at that, and I regularly read books on the industry to keep up with trends and information. I bought this book based on the reviews and title. I then received the book and have never had my jaw drop so many times in my life.

Who is this guy? His writing is that of a 15 year old with slang and casual phrases that make pretty much no sense to me at times. Then, there are "how to" advice that includes heading to the steam room at the gym to "nail a mega-offeror". I'm sorry, but what exactly does that mean Mr. Allen? Yes, I understand that you mean to say that you can network in the sauna, but following it up with "By the time we'd dry off, we'd be trading soggy business cards and carrying on like Bert and Ernie." Wow.

The best this book has to offer is good solid humor. And perhaps the advice on eating non-processed food in the second chapter titled "Making and Taking the Instant Interview Magic Potion" where Mr. Allen plans out a diet for us while we are off drumming up interviews for ourselves. Again, wow.

I'd recommend the book "Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0: 1,001 Unconventional Tips, Tricks and Tactics for Landing Your Dream Job (Paperback)" if you're looking for some real advice. A much more professional, realistic and effective book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy Book...Unrealistic Expectations, August 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: Instant Interviews: 101 Ways to Get the Best Job of Your Life (Paperback)
This is not a one-size fits all book. It may work for those super charged "go getters" but for the majority of people who don't have that grandiose attitude....this book may just make you look silly. This book wants to you to appear like a "magical genie" and randomly show up to corporate offices to make an appearance. Let me tell you, no executive wants to be bothered by some random stranger during the work week. And they certainly don't have time for some fool who thinks he's gonna get a job just by appearing at the office.

There are a few suggestions in the book on how to network that are more appropriate. I've tried a few suggestions that don't seem so inappropriate or intrusive and so far it's been somewhat helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Bunch of Fluff, July 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Very dissapointed in the book. I was looking for something on an executive level and this advice is geared for more non senior managers. It is a good book for a young person entering the job market, but suggestions on follow up will back fire on senior level employees. I can't believe all the good reviews this book has gotten. The author must have a lot of friends and family.
