This review is from: Who Says There Are No Jobs Out There?: 25 Irreverent Rules for Getting a Job (Paperback)

Bob Weinstein has built a career on advising you about yours. He is right on target in his latest book, a snappy, honest, conversational guide to job-hunting. Throw away all your old books on the subject. This one takes you right into the heart of today's marketplace, where the old employment-seeking rules (even from five or 10 years ago) no longer apply. Whether you're looking for a new job, or your next one, we [...] highly recommend this book to everyone from custodians to CEOs.

This review is from: Who Says There Are No Jobs Out There?: 25 Irreverent Rules for Getting a Job (Paperback)

As a professional "headhunter," I lend this book to candidates as a primer. Weinstein fearlessly debunks the myths around getting hired. Unfortunately, few people will practice what he preaches. Humans tend to go with conventional wisdom. The bold others will always get the jobs they want.
