Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Johnston, who got his M.B.A. from Boston University in May 2000, says that when he graduated, "anyone who could breathe could get a job." But with the dot-com collapse, terrorist attacks, and corporate scandals, the bottom quickly fell out of the U.S. job market. After losing his position at a Boston nonprofit and relocating his family to New Jersey, he spent eight months discovering how much the world had changed since his last job search. The unique aspect of his odyssey is that his ups and downs were chronicled in a monthly column on The Wall Street Journal's executive career site, CareerJournal.com. Reader response was phenomenal; more than 300,000 people logged on to share their own frustrations and insights. Many of these anonymous contributions are included here, and the result is an extremely cutting-edge guide to job hunting, which takes traditional advice (such as tips on updating your resume, networking, and accepting alternatives such as contract work) and pushes it to the next level by designing more flexible and creative approaches.
