I've presided over 20,000 hires so far in my career and I am convinced that Peter Studner's Super Job Search is simply *the best* book about how to get a job on the market. I recommend it...every time an out-of-work person calls me. I'm a headhunter. Peter's book tells readers not to call headhunters, so when someone calls, I automatically know they need to read it. I offer to meet with anyone who wants to pick my brain, but not until after they have read Super Job Search. Their having read it makes a dramatic difference in the value they get from our conversation. Buy it. It's the best.

Seems like ths is advice that is firmy stuck in the 1990's. As all job search books, there are some good ideas and examples, but nothing earth-shattering. There has to be more up to date and contemporary books out here. That's my story, I'm sticking to it....

If you buy the book and read it you won't get a job.

If you buy the book and follow the guidelines you will get a job, it will be the best job for you, and you will be able to negotiate a salary that's higher than you expecteed to get.

It breaks everything down in a day by day step by step way and it works. I worked at a job I didn't like and couldn't get a raise and the book helped me get into a job that pays 20% more and has benefits and raises. The thing is you have to be motivated to follow the steps through. It helps you organize your campaign in the best and easiest possible way.

Buy the book and work the book and you will have more confidence in yourself and have better opportunities.

Super Job Search was recommended to me by a mentor and lived up to all expectations he gave me regarding the resume, interviewing, and networking phases of a job search. The book has been very helpful in guiding me to do the things I need to in a job search, as well as informing me about things I should not do.

Super Job Search is more than the definitive guide to successful job hunting, it is *the* career guidance roadmap for professionals and novices alike. When asked for job search advice, reading Super Job Search is on top of my list or priority actions for candidates. Over the last 20 years, Peter has emerged as one of the foremost authorities on applying practical, concrete and proven steps to finding a job. Anyone who is lucky enough to receive Peter's personal attention and counsel is priviledged indeed but reading and exercising the principles in his book comes in a very close second!

Studner's book is an extensive valuable resources for outplacement. It is easily readable for all levels of employees. There are excellent examples of the perfect resume, which I have used for my own resume. This is simply the 'best of the best.'

As a 20 year HR exec, I thought I knew all about job search. It wasn't until I had to conduct my own that I realized how much help I really needed. Super job search was THE reason I successfully completed my campaign... it's the Bible on the subject and a must read for all job searchers.

This book offers very practical advice that helped me focus my job search and find the right new position.

First I read the book cover to cover and then I read it through again and did most of the work sheets and did everything that was recommended, and my job search really picked up right then. I got more comfortable and sucessful at networking with people and i was getting more interest through my networking, and my new job is better then the one i got layed off from (i was Administrative Director, Cardiology and now I'm Director of Cardiovascular). If you are like most people and you need to disipline your self to do these things, then this book would be perfect. Good luck everyone! :)

The book really helped me a lot. It made looking for work less frightening.
