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.
