I read this book from cover to cover. As a parent and grandparent I recommend this book to all college students, college educators, college book stores and everyone who is interested in helping out a job applicant. It is filled with concrete ideas on exactly what it takes to get a good job. The main precept is you have to stand out when applying for a job and it tells you exactly how to do this. It's a quick read and easy to follow and a real eye opener for someone out of the job market ( like me) about what it takes these days to land a good job.
As a current college senior in Materials Engineering, I have not had much look in finding jobs. I’ve applied to nearly 100 positions on LinkedIn, Indeed, and more to no avail. This book has inspired to take a different approach and I’m excited for what’s to come!
This is book is so insightful on how to go about handling the job marketing and getting any job you set your mind to. It condenses all the creative ways people have landed jobs and inspires the reader to think outside the box. The best part about this book is that it's applicable to anyone at any age trying to get any job they desire. It doesn't need to be the one in a million creative attempts, it can simply be the "how to" of going about reaching people in unconventional ways to help establish relationships and networking.
Since reading this book I have already landed 2 interviews with the top companies I'm pursuing! This is a MUST read!
