5.0 out of 5 stars Take a chance, otherwise you will never have a chance., March 21, 2007

By	Atiff Rizwani - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters: 400 Unconventional Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Landing Your Dream Job (Paperback)

This has to be the ultimate job search reference book available on the market today. I have purchased several books with similar claims in the past; however they never lived up to my expectations. What sold me to write this review is the fact that the book acts like a personal mentor to you during the whole job hunt process. It gives you a tremendous confidence booster and opens up doors of opportunities for you to really get creative and result driven. Don't fool yourself by thinking that activity and accomplishment is the same thing. This book is all about accomplishments and results. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are a new grad or a veteran, this book will show you how to maximize your worth in the market today. Believe me when I say this, a wrong job hunt approach can really be discouraging to your self image (been there done that), so do it right the first time. Buy this book, you can't go wrong.
