Summary: Great examples and in general, but lacks for specific needs.
Review: I believe for general job seekers (i.e., people who already have jobs or have had experience) this book is very valuable and very comprehensive. However, as a college student ready to graduate, I would have liked to see more examples of recent grads of postgraduate, postsecondary, and even secondary institutions.

Summary: Simply the Best Job Hunting Book
Review: This classic how-to-book beats all of the other "find a job" books, hands down. What makes this book so much better than others? The authors provide a very effective, logical and detailed guide to the job hunting process. If you follow this guide, you will get the job you want, simple as that. "The Only Job Hunting Guide You'll Ever Need" masterfully covers resumes and their use as a selling tool, how to network, and the basics in contacting employers. The seven different methods for landing an interview will really help the job hunter to land that interview. Finally, the art of the interview reveals its mysteries. This chapter gives a step by step guide to answering the most common questions, and also shows how the job hunter needs to ask good questions, too. The interviewer may be as inexperienced and as nervous as you are with the interview process! Be forewarned. This book is not a comprehensive guide for choosing a career, although it gives a good but brief synopsis for the indecisive. Probably the best advice they give along these lines is to take action. Then they show the job hunter just how to go land that job. The book does not cover the recent revolution in Internet based job hunting. The publisher should put out another edition, advising which job site is best, and whether e-mail can substitute for snail mail for the job-hunter. The reader must be on their own for these issues, but the time tested rules of the pre-digital age still apply to the job hunt.
