Summary: Great Examples of Letters for Job Seekers-And Fun to Read
Review: After a section on writing effective correspondence, this book provides models of the many letters needed in a job-seeking campaign, including 1) telling your friends about your job hunt; 2) requesting a meeting; 3) announcing your availability for part-time, temporary and consulting work; 4) substitutes for resumes; 5) targeted mailings to employment agencies; 6) respnses to want ads; 7) guidance to references and information on your achievements; 8) introductions to hiring officials you do not know; 9) preparing your prospects for a phone call; 10) a response form that makes it easy for people to reply; 11) informing people who might help you find a "hidden" job; and 12) thank you letters informing people you found a job!

This is one of the best books in the hundreds I read for possible inclusion in the bibiography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia by Dale S. Brown.

Summary: Simply outstanding
Review: Ideal book for all kind of Job hunting letters, one will ever come across, the letters are simple, heartfelt and not academic and dry like written by a school boy.
Some find it novel way of writing job hunting letters.
But effective believe me.

Summary: good source
Review: The book includes the samples of letters suitable for virtually any stage of the job search - from initial resume mailing to the post-interview follow up letters. Basically, this is what is good about the book - lots and lots of samples, with a few basic guidelines. It also includes some networking and job-hunting suggestions, but I wouldn't use this book as a single guide for job-hunting.
