Customer Reviews

This is just what I needed
Having lost my job last month, I am interviewing for the first time in years. I didn't even have an up to date resume! This book walked me through how to write an effective resume and how to grab attention with a great cover letter. It must have worked because I have two interviews next week. Now I need to focus on strengthening my interview skills (Chapter 13). This book will be a great guide for anyone looking for a job in this crazy environment!

Great Content - Killer Timing!
This book couldn't of come at a better time for me! Let me start at the beginning, I lost my job and was sent a copy of this long titled book by my close friend. By just using the networking section, I had not one, but TWO interviews in the next week, applying the techniques in the book resulted in two offers in these "tumultuous times". These 5 skills not only helped in the search process but I am starting to apply them to my new job and my boss told me I am exceeding his expectations. I am taking my friend that bought me the book to the mountains this weekend for not only getting over the depression of being fired, but helping me to jump start my career again! The information in this book is worth many times the cover price if you apply one of the essential skills. I don't give 5 stars easily (only 1 other 5 star review so far!) as I want them to mean something in my reviews, but here they are deserved. Apply these techniques and you will get rid of the fear of losing your job... (or finding a job in my case ;-) Keep fighting the good fight!
