5.0 out of 5 stars great content if you're ready for it, April 8, 2010

This review is from: Knock'em Dead 2010: The Ultimate Job Search Guide (Paperback)

I read this book back in 1994 when I entered the workforce out of college. It was extremely instrumental in giving me a feeling that I had an edge in interviewing and understanding the job process. I think this is a solid book for coming out of school and getting some key points across in terms of desire, aggressiveness, attitude, etc. I couldn't believe it still in print, but I remember how pumped I would get after reading the book and being super excited about going out and searching for a job. maybe it just helped me see it differently back then and that was the edge I needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get a job-search edge in these tough times, May 25, 2010

By	M. Palmer "book savant" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Knock'em Dead 2010: The Ultimate Job Search Guide (Paperback)

There are so many job search guides and techniques and this one stands OUT among that overwhelming crowd. The book is really good at making the reader feel excited and confident about their newfound knowledge which is great for job seekers in these tough and uncertain times. The interviewing techniques are some of the most valuable I've come across. Being prepared for the aggressive interviewer is invaluable. I also found that by coupling this book with Meagan Holub's The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a massage Therapist that I was much more prepared go out and get work. Megan's book emphasizes points on how to really build the clientele you want and how to take the jobs that are really going to support your overall goals and growth. She even talks about the ever important dressing for success and advertising! Together I found these books made me feel unstoppable! Better gig, more pay, greater rewards HERE I COME!
