5.0 out of 5 stars Has Everthing Anyone Needs, March 9, 2000

This review is from: Job Finder's Guide, 2000: The Only Book You Need to Get the Job You Want (Paperback)

I also have the previous edition (1999) which is basically the same, but this new one has better information about using the Internet for job searching. I like this portion ("Job Hunting in Cyberspace") of the book the best, which has 4 chapters. One of most valuable chapters is about negotiating the highest possible salary. The Book has one particularly valuable chapter about how to locate smaller company's, though there's about 3000 co's listed in the "U.S. Employer's" portion. One thing that's useful is all the cross referencing, which helps you navigate. For example, in the Employer's portion, it also steers you to industry profiles, so you can make sure you are job prospecting in healthy industries. Also the x-ref's steer you to professional orginizations for all the professions, which--as Krantz says-- are great ways to contact prospective employers. You'd almost have to buy 20 books to get so much information. On thing that was a little weak was about how to find jobs overseas. Krantz gives you strategies and lots of tips, but there are no foreign companies listed. Hopefully they'll have some in the next edition, but with over 650 pages of valuable info, I can't complain overall. It's the best book around if you're seriously looking for the best job in the U.S, though not abroad.

Got everything. I really don't need another book, though I have Krantz's "Jobs Rated Almanac" which also has some good attributes. I also use the Job Finder as a reference since it has so much about so many companies.

The BEST guide around for pointing the job finder in the right direction. I found it most helpful and recommended it to a number of friends.
