Summary: Very Worthwhile Job Hunting Book!
Review: I've read numerous job hunting books, but this one offers the unique perspective of the authors' experiences as recruiters. With this view from the other side of the desk (hiring), they let you in on what works and what commonly practiced job search techniques are a waste of your time.The book is thorough in covering numerous aspects of the job search process. Some topics covered include, but are not limited to: The New Job Market, Motivating Yourself in the Search Process, Researching Industries/Companies, Telephone Skills, Resumes and Cover Letters, Getting in Front of Decesion Makers, Getting Hired, etc. Sadly, this book is vastly underpublized.

Summary: Great Approach to Job Search-Find expanding small companies
Review: Recommends job seekers approach expanding small companies. Growth can be inferred through increases in stock prices. Job seekers should; 1) study industry periodicals and investment newsletters. 2) seek comments from venture capitalists and stock pickers; 3) focus on three rapidly expanding companies at a time and target them. One strong chapter describes handling an initial screening call from a company. Read it if you have trouble responding quickly to questions. Also recommends ways of leaving messages on voice mail that invite people to call back.
