I bought this for one of my classes that was all about job hunting. I would definitly suggest buying it if your ready to seriously start career searching. It was more of a gateway introduction with a good amount of details about cover letters, resumes, and common-sense interview pointers. Its a smaller book so its easy to skim through and read. The only downside to this is that since its a smaller book, it wont go into great details about all the various topics. But after reading this book and ultimately finishing the class with it, I feel like I have a more in depth knowledge about finding the career I want. Having been through more than a dozen interviews in my own life, I was able to learn more than I thought.
Excellent resource!

This book was a required text for my Careers class in college, but I've found it to be a useful reference tool even now that I've graduated. It's really easy to read and give lots of great tips like how to write your resume, draft cover letters, succeed at interviews, even how to negotiate your salary. Plus, I love all the examples in the book. It's very helpful to see actual resumes and cover letters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is entering the job market, whether he/she is a student just graduating or someone looking for a career change.
