Job Searcher's Handbook, The (4th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a college professor who teaches a career course and found this book to be good enough to use in the classroom. It covers all aspects of the job search and does a great job asking insightful questions of the reader. There are many pages of fill-in-the-blank questions where the reader can prioritize, set goals, and conjure up strengths. It is a very practical guide in helping someone search for a job, whatever stage of their career they may be in.
