When I want to get some insights on employment, I expect something really brilliant or special from a book.
When I want to get some general tips, I expect I can get all the information for free from the Internet.

And this book, only gives the $0 general tips which you can google easily,

The two-star rating is only for the samples of CV and resume

If you consider buying it after reading the sample pages like I did, please don't. Save the money.

Waste of Time and Money

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is essentially worthless. I would not trust the other reviews, perhaps they were written by friends of his? The advice was the same old generic baloney that you might hear from anyone. Ex. - Have a resume, don't misspell things on it, do an internship while you're in school. I thought this would be tips for recent grads. If I've already graduated, don't tell me I should do an internship. What, am I supposed to find a time machine somewhere and accomplish that? My other complaints: this does not seem to be based on any research; rather, it looks like this guy went online and just rehashed a bunch of blog posts from Forbes.com or Lifehacker.com. Utterly useless. I'd demand my money back if I could.

It was just okay, seems a bit dated for relevance in 2014 at times.

In this international LinkedIn age, we have to do whatever we can to stand out to get hired. In this book, Ryan provides straight forward tips that will help everyone from college students seeking internships, a recent graduate pursuing that first job in the "real world," and that person mid career looking to reignite their career.

Positive reviews are probably fake

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2015

Most of the 5-star reviews seem fake and here's why:
-most of the 5-star reviews come from users who have reviewed only this book
-most of those reviews come from the week this book was published (early May 2011)
-very few reviews are Verified Purchases
-the critical reviews are dated after May 2011 and come from users who have reviewed other products
-users Oxford, AShroffUCLA, HollyTrolley, Mitche11, Ry Taj, LawGradLLS, and Nate the Great reviewed this book twice; the reviews are word-for-word identical

Folks, please do your research before you decide to buy this book. Take care y'all.

Quick & Easy Resource!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2011

What really impressed me about this book was how easy it was to read while still providing valuable information. I've been in the working world for quite awhile now and have had my fair share of interviews -- and still picked up quite a few tips. I've passed it along to several friends with kids about to leave for college, or about to graduate and seeking that first job, as well as friends in the currently in the job market. Definitely a good buy!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 4, 2015

Very short, nothing I would not know already. Often, not very suitable for the UK job market - things such as 'thank you card' after an interview or turning up in a company with a CV - I cannot really imagine practicing in UK.
