5.0 out of 5 stars Recent Grads - Look No Further, July 1, 2002

By	JC-Austin "Jason" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I have recommended this book to so many of my friends, I wouldn't be doing it justice if I didn't write a review here as well.

I purchased this book just about a year ago, and I now find myself in the great job that it helped me to land (in a very challenging environment) with a Big Five Consulting company. Krueger offers tips in all of the necessary categories from start to finish, from resumes to job fairs to interviews to salary negotiation.

I remember re-reading the relevant chapter before each step in the hiring process with my current employer. Every step of the way, this book offered tips that helped me to seal the deal. For the [money] you'll pay, you can't find a better investment. You'll never approach the job search the same way again!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a really good book for college students., April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book covers the entire job search process, from selecting your chosen field to finding the job. It was especially helpful for me, as an international student seeking my first job here in the U.S. Everything was easy to understand, but also gave the level of detail I needed. In the end, I felt like I was in control, instead of just waiting for others. Highly recommended to all college students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, May 19, 2004

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: College Grad Job Hunter: Insider Techniques and Tactics for Finding a Top-Paying Entry Level Job, 5th ed. (Paperback)

In the latest edition of the College Grad Job Hunter, Brian D. Krueger, a post-college career authority, provides a highly targeted book on job hunting skills for recent college graduates. While others seeking entry level jobs can benefit, the emphasis is on how to prepare while you are still in college or just graduating. As such, it is a solidly written and well-organized book that views job hunting as a process and provides step-by-step techniques for searching for that ideal job. It is a useful how-to manual even if it duplicates some of the advice in other books, such as What Color is Your Parachute? Krueger helpfully includes sample letters, phone messages and job hunting Web sites and books. We recommend this good, basic book for all novice job hunters (not just freshly-minted college grads).
