Summary: A must read for any recent college grad!
Review: I have been advising college seniors on job interviews, job searches and resume preparation for nearly 30 years and found this book to be a valuable resource for any recent college graduate job hunter. It is a quick, enjoyable read and is filled with good ideas.

Summary: Many unconventional tips
Review: I have recommended this book to so many of my friends, I wouldn't be doing it justice if I didn't write a review here as well.I purchased this book just about a year ago, and I now find myself in the great job that it helped me to land (in a very challenging environment) with a Big Five Consulting company. Krueger offers tips in all of the necessary categories from start to finish, from resumes to job fairs to interviews to salary negotiation. I remember re-reading the relevant chapter before each step in the hiring process with my current employer. Every step of the way, this book offered tips that helped me to seal the deal. For the [money] you'll pay, you can't find a better investment. You'll never approach the job search the same way again!

Summary: A MUST HAVE for anyone seeking employment at any level
Review: I spent the weekend reading the book. On Monday I booked a flight to New York City to try my luck. By Thursday I had two outstanding offers from two incredible companies that I thought that I could never get as a college graduate. Brian provides you the momentum to utilize your creativity in landing the job that you want. Is it a surprise that I out competed applicants with more experience then me? Read the book to find out!

Summary: The best reference available
Review: I've been checking an earlier edition of this book out of the public library. But I finally decided to buy it. Anyone, recent college grad or not, should have this book handy during the job search. I've looked at a lot of books on this topic, and Krueger's is BY FAR THE BEST. He doesn't insult his readers' intelligence with unnecessary extras. He bluntly tells it like it is. I cannot recommend this book more highly.

Summary: Highly Recommended!
Review: In the latest edition of the College Grad Job Hunter, Brian D. Krueger, a post-college career authority, provides a highly targeted book on job hunting skills for recent college graduates. While others seeking entry level jobs can benefit, the emphasis is on how to prepare while you are still in college or just graduating. As such, it is a solidly written and well-organized book that views job hunting as a process and provides step-by-step techniques for searching for that ideal job. It is a useful how-to manual even if it duplicates some of the advice in other books, such as What Color is Your Parachute? Krueger helpfully includes sample letters, phone messages and job hunting Web sites and books. We recommend this good, basic book for all novice job hunters (not just freshly-minted college grads).

Summary: Less Than Honest (4th edition)
Review: This book has tips on how to get your name noticed but they seem not very moral. Chapter 15 suggests putting a dollar to catch the attention of hiring managers and other tactics that seem less than honest and seem more theatrical than anything. Furthermore, chapter 13 has less than honest techniques such as saying you are updating a mailing list to get contact information. You might think these are valid and not lying at all but I consider them exactly so. I do not think such tactics are an honorable way of getting a job.

Summary: Get it for free, apparently
Review: Well, so I just bought this book, and, yeah, it's pretty useful. However, I looked on their web site, www.collegegrad.com, and, apparently, "Want the straight story on how to find a job? The job search advice at this site is direct from the #1 best-selling book for entry level job search, "College Grad Job Hunter" by Brian Krueger. The entire contents of this book are online here at our site, available to you for free!" So do what the nice man says, and don't throw your money away on actually buying the book, like I did.
