This book takes the job hunter from the start of the job search to negotiating terms after being hired.The first three chapters entitled "1.0 Value, 2.0 You and 3.0 Job Openings" takes the reader through the difficult part of realistically analyzing jobs which one is qualified and also suited for. This was my favorite part. While going through this process I uncovered some unthought of possibilities.The next three chapters entitled " 4.0 Positioning Yourself with a Great CV, 5.0 Job Search Formula and 6.0 The Application and Shortlisting Process" dealt with the process of finding job openings and writing a great résumé to fit those advertised jobs. In these chapters the author shows how this is the most critical part of the job hunt and how to best approach it.The final three chapters entitled "7.0 Interview Preparation, 8.0 The Day of the Interview and 9.0 Negotiations" take the reader through all aspects of conveying the best image you can to the interviewing company. There was great ideas in these last chapters that I had not previously considered. The section on how to negotiate benefits after you have been hired is alone worth the price of this book.I enjoyed the conversational style of the author and entertaining examples.Most of all... Good luck in your job hunt!
