Great Book reads like my life story. Laid off in 9-2016 and still looking a year later..

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

What a great read I have been out of work since Sept 2016 and on Wed Sept 13 2017 marked one year. So I decided by a personal recommendation. I had received this book when I graduated high school or college I forget but never read a single page kind of a rebel back in those days of old early 1990's when life was so much simpler. Well back to this editions review my jaw dropped as I read the initial 1st couple chapters as it was describing exactly what I was experiencing. The job market of 2008 is NOTHING like the job market of 2017. I can say personally from working the past 17 or so years in IT and my last 2 jobs were a 2 year contract 2008-2010. I was called by a head hunter and within a month I was working one year in I got an increase in dollars per hour 45-49 then the next and last job was 2010-2016 this job I got as referred by a woman I worked with and actually picked up and dropped her off for her husband to pick her up they were both from New Delhi India and both brilliant. So I figured its on my way to /from work and she did help me. Also the other person on the team worked under the head of the Network group at the job in 2008-2010 the 3 of them worked together at a company which I will withhold the name the 2 guys worked for 20 years and the woman was only with them a year or so before mass lay off. And that is what happened to me in my last job got in couple re-orgs last one was tough as my job changed dramatically and I wanted out and I was laid off as were 100's or possibly 1000's over weeks at a time then 9-10 months later 400 more. So the book was like reading my life story at the time. I am still unemployed and actually looking to step back and go back to an area where at one time I was "King: I knew it all. I was top dog everyone came to me and I mentored lots of others at the time then looking back I made a BIG MISTAKE. I jumped from a Tech Analyst job into a Networking job. I should have learned desktop support or something else and if later I stilll wanted Networking then I would try to do it..At the time in the early 2000's you could move from group to another quite easily especially if you were working for 6 years now this practice is not quite as easy EVERYTHING changed as stated in the book and it has from poor management to 1 job becoming 3 jobs. Corporate America is spreading themselves to thin in IT especially in my opinion GREAT BOOK

Outdated money grab and platform for selling workbooks

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

Most people have heard about this book, and most would probably view it in a favorable light as far as career books go. I ordered this to supplement my own job search research, and I found it has a few crucial issues that cause me to doubt its value in modern job hunter's library.

Problem 1: this book is full of redirection

This means long or old websites, often specific articles, common knowledge search sites or government websites. A better book would sum up or synthesize this information. Even better, if this book were online, the long links would actually be useful. The tool set offered by paper and ink simply doesn't make sense for the sheer amount of links and tech direction. But the problem with web peripherals or even the internet is that access to the same information is free for the user.

Problem 2: similarly, the book endlessly plugs its workbooks and other materials. Many if not most footnotes refer to buying parachute workbooks. The book mentions non-parachute creations too, but in one case, this turned out to be a 2 dollar, mediocre 'work' tracker app that reputedly makes suggestions for your job search based on how many interviews you've been invited to. I can't imagine this being seriously recommended to anyone. There was no worksheet or on paper direction to do this for yourself, either, so I have to guess that this was either a bad rec or the writer was getting kickback from the app maker. Which brings me to my final point...

Problem 3: filler

Go to a bookstore, scan the nonfiction section and look for books purporting to be informative. You'll see that regardless of topic they trend toward a thickness of at least 3/4ths of an inch. Book publishers know that a thicker book implies more information.

So this book beats around the bush, includes common sense information or even fills un formated paragraphs with step by steps on changing your Google settings.

Considering that I can get most of the advice from this book online and in a leaner format, I regret making a purchase a little bit.

This is a MUST-HAVE

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

A must-have for anyone over 30 looking for a job. Found out everything I had always done to find a job was now ineffective. But what I really liked was how useful it was for CHANGING careers. It really helps you tap into finding what you really WANT to do, and more importantly how to apply your "non-job" skills to your dream job. I learned I was far more talented than I thought I was. I've recommended this book to several people.

Great conversation starter for the new job seeker

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the 2017 revised version of the classic "find out what you should do" book.

The format is the same comfortable version that the book has used for years, but it is totally updated to include all of the emerging technology jobs.

I advise a number of young adults in various roles, and I find this book is very, very useful. It is not an Oracle, and the recommendations are not infallible, but it does get the conversation started.

The book does a good job at getting the job seeker thinking about some of the other key factors that he or she might miss otherwise.

A very useful book, a classic!

The 'scriptures' for the career changer and job hunter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our late friend, Dick Bolles, continued up to his death at 90 this past March to 'blog' his thoughts and ideas with us that made this book the 'bible' for anyone thinking about or attempting to change careers and look for new work. His own 'calling' to ministry as an Episcopalian minister shifted into being the 'chaplain' for those seeking to find work that is meaningful, full of purpose, and for the common good of all. He will be sorely missed. And this is his final edition will cement the book as a classic in understanding and finding one's calling "that transcendent summons that brings purpose and meaning to work that supports the well-being of others and the common good".

Very superficial

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

It confuses you rather than helping you.
Gives you directions like a job centre.
If you just want a job then maybe buying it.
If you like to build up a fulfilling career, then this book it is not good.

Probably a good book ...
