The classic handbook for anyone looking to get hired soon. Covers a vast array of job-seeking strategies and processes, from examining personal skills, strengths, weaknesses, preferences, situations (moving, changing careers, effective strategies,salary negotiationP and all the "what, where, '& how's"of attaining a job.) Chapter titles include Putting things in Perspective, Job-Hunting, When You Need a New Career, Securing and Conducting an Interview Successfully, and the Pink Pages (Career Counselors, "finding your mission in life", additional books and resources, avoiding depression while job seeking, etc.) This book sets the standard for job hunting, including all the "what to do and what NOT to do". Highly, highly recommended.
