“The Ultimate Job Search Guide”

By Martin Yate

Looking for solid job searching advice from an experienced career professional with a minimum of frills? Then The Ultimate Job Search Guide is the book for you.

Martin Yate has been updating The Ultimate Job Search Guide for many years and there are good reasons it has stood the test of time. The book offers high quality information about all aspects of the job search process.

Beginning with identifying your strengths, and moving through chapters on creating compelling resumes, using effective networking strategies, and preparing for interviews, the book offers a full-service guide to job searching.

Whether you are employed or unemployed, whether this is your first job search or you are a seasoned job seeker, you will find straightforward, basic advice in this book.

If you worry about what to say in interviews or how to respond to different interview questions, the book offers a gold mine of information to help you feel prepared for any scenario. The ideas for using social media in your job search, especially LinkedIn, are timely (and just ignore the section on using Google+ - I am sure that will be removed in the next update).

In order to digest the helpful information in this book you must be willing to read a lot. If you learn better with more pictures, colors, and activities, What Color Is Your Parachute might better keep your attention. While there is a chapter on making career changes, those switching careers would benefit more from Switchers.

Martin Yate has a series of other career guidance books that can be found at www.knockemdead.com.
