4.0 out of 5 stars IT CONTAINS NO SPECIAL TIPS FOR WOMEN ONLY, May 14, 1999

By A Customer

The book is very well written and organized, it contains valuable information on job hunting. Yet, I was very disappointed to find out that although the back cover claims to have "special tips for women only", I found NOTHING about it...... such claim is precisely what drove me to buy the book, since I am a woman. Anyway, the excellent examples in this book are absolutely professional, and the overall composition of the book is classy. It really helps job hunters to organize their thoughts and succeed in their job hunting campaign.
