I lost my job about a month ago, and after a couple of weeks of searching I lost focus and momentum. This book - which is a compilation of ALL of the author's books on job hunting (stinkin' great value!) - has helped me refocus my efforts on a career path that I hadn't really strongly considered before. I kinda had my "ah-ha" moment while reading this book. Because the author speaks to you from the mind of a human resource professional, you really get all the tips and guidance you need from the very start of a job search all the way through the process. Even what to do through those scary salary negotiations. Knowing how to figure out my true worth in the market and how to best present my requested salary is a huge relief.But the part of the book I found most useful??...the interview section. Some people shine in interviews. That's not me. No matter how much I thought I prepared in the past, I just didn't feel like I was nailing interviews. But this book has taught me some tips that I never realized were so powerful, like naturally working in industry-specific terminology to reinforce your expertise. SO useful for my field.Overall, the book is smart, straight-to-the-point, and gets you through the job hunt from start to finish.
