While outdated, this insightful book into searching for your next job or finding the career of your dreams was very interesting for me. A recommendation from my dad who used the same book when he was looking for a job, gave great points and ideas as to not only use the resources out there to find a job, but how to find out what your best and favorite skills are and how to apply them to a job.

Of course, being this edition was written in 1996, it heavily frowns upon using the internet as a viable resource and also believes resumes aren’t always necessary. Well now, in 2009, those are two required aspects to every job search in my opinion.

The books contains lots of examples, personal experiences, and activities you can use to become the best job hunter out there.

Not a bad book. I would recommend the updated version over this one.

Considering our economic hits right now, this books seems quite essential to many Americans. I read this book and much of it may come off as common sense when hunting for a job, but the author really does offer a plethora of options when pursuing jobs or careers. This book is a great guide when dealing with that treacherous job hunt that seems to annoy more than inspire us. I definitely recommend this book for anyone of any age of any field. It's that broad and that helpful. ( )

A very positive approach to finding that next job and more importantly a new career. ( )

A practical guide to job-hunting and essential life skills taught in this easy step-by-step manual. ( )

Everytime I was to change career direction, i always go back to this book - to review. ( )
