Summary: Great advice for the real world
Review: Work It is the perfect job search book for the current economy. It's full of real world, practical advice that can be used by both first time job hunters and experienced professionals alike. I especially like the section on what to do if you are laid off. This is advice I have not been able to find anywhere else, and I appreciate the straightforwardness. Work It! should be on any new grad's reading list!

Summary: A fresh, funny and fact-filled guide to landing a new job!
Review: WORK IT! is jam-packed with the information -- not to mention inspiration -- you need to find a job in any economy. It smartly divides its contents into three parts: Part One: Everything You Know Is Wrong (which dispels countless job-hunting myths and legends, and explains why the Internet Is Ruining Your Job Search) Part Two: Back to Basics (which advises losing the McResume, and standing out through more authentic communications) Part Three: Break Open in Case of Emergency! (which answers the SOS call for desperate situations) Best of all, the advice comes with the smart and witty imprimatur of Allison Hemming, the originator of the infamous "Pink Slip Parties" that marked the beginning of the end of the dot.com era. Hemming dispenses advice not as an "I told you so" expert-on-high, but as a best friend through thick and thin willing to tell it like it is -- and wanting to see you come out on top. With the help of this book, you can't help but feel like you will.
