Chapter 1, Second Sentence: "You do not to start looking for a job and talking to potential employers when your appearance and attitude still needs improvement" Huh?"You need to buy a well-fitting business attire...""When looking for a job, you need to change your perspective a bit to woe employers..." I think they mean Woo.And that is just the first chapter.The chapter on Resumes does have some good information, but it recommended adding a photo to your resume. This is not a suggested practice, generally. According to sites like LinkedIn, this is not a professional practice.Chapter 4 is about the actual search... It recommends to call the business. This may be acceptable for some industries, but I am a manager in a retail store and when people call and ask if we are hiring they get a short response and after they hang up we say, "sure, let me just hire you over the phone." I'm not sure I would ever call a potential employer to see if they are hiring and what positions. This looks lazy. Get up and go to the business.All in all, I would suggest reading a few articles on Google than this book. However, if you are just starting looking for your first ever job, this could be a helpful start. I give 2.5 stars, rounded up to three.
