5.0 out of 5 stars Successfully challenges conventional job search wisdom, January 14, 2006
By Chandra Prasad (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
Being a careers/workplace author myself, I sometimes find it difficult to endorse new books, especially since the market is already glutted with them. However, Tony Beshara's book, The Job Search Solution, deserves special attention for finding something new and important to say about the job market today. Beshara doesn't load the reader with useful but obvious suggestions ("don't forget to wear a nice suit to your interview," for example). Instead, he deliberately challenges conventional job search wisdom, and in so doing, offers radical but inspired suggestions for success. Chapter Six: "Common Myths and the Realities About Hiring" is a perfect example of Beshara's unique vision. Think that "companies approach hiring with common sense, logic, and good business acumen and consistency?" Think that "the most qualified candidate gets the job?" Think again! Time and again Beshara proves that finding a job is a highly subjective business filled with innumerable variables. The triumphant jobseeker is the one who not only recognizes these inconsistencies and but also uses them to his advantage. Not sure how to do this? Don't worry-Beshara guides the way.

Also worthy of notice: Chapter 12: Overcoming Employer Biases that Can Keep You from Getting a Job. Here, Beshara tackles such tricky items as age discrimination and what to say if you've been out of the workforce for an extended period.

Overall, a Grade A read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile lesson in attitude, February 8, 2006
By Ed Snate (Gloucester, MA) - See all my reviews
I am in my last semester of college and just read this book. Before doing so, I did not have the necessary mindset for selling myself and putting in the required hustle the job-search process requires - I was the smart one and the people who had to feign eagerness and enthusiasm only had to do it because they were too dumb to get a job by "being real." Beshara woke me up to the reality that there are thousands of people shooting for the same job who are just as smart (if not smarter) as me. With my old attitude, I would have grumbled while "fakes," "phonies," and "sell-outs" all passed me by. This book taught me the benefits of CHOOSING a positive attitude and having the self-confidence to put it into practice in the job market.

5.0 out of 5 stars From an Experienced Executive Recruiter, February 17, 2006
By S. Lordan (Clearwater, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am always looking for books to recommend to my candidates, so they are better prepared, not just for interviewing, but for dealing with the whole search process they often find so baffling and ego-deflating. Managing the emotional process on the candidate side of the search equation is one of the toughest parts of being a good recruiter. For the company, hiring is purely a business decision. For the prospective employee, changing jobs is a business AND personal decision affecting not only one's livelihood, but often family happiness, location, marriage success or failure! Tony Beshara's book is at the top of my recommendation list. I read once that a candidate's stress level increases 200% from initial job inquiry to offer time. Tony's book unveils those mysteries of the hiring process that cause so much of the prospective employee's emotion - emotion which, if not handled properly, often results in offers that could have been, but don't materialize. Most candidates do not realize that they must adopt the same axiom in their job search that makes them successful at their jobs- "Plan your work, and work your plan". This easy read gives the candidate a workable, proven plan for finding the right opportunity. I disagree with the reviewer who thought the book simply promotes the use of recruiters. I believe if more candidates read this book, they might not need us nearly as much!
