I need a lot of help with job hunting since this is my first time getting a "real" job and I'm not sure how to go about it. This book explains different strategies to use to find a job, and explains how to write a good resume and cover letter. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the main strategy this book recommends is mailing your resume to potential employers. After reading some other books I found out that this is one of the least effective methods. Still very helpful because it has almost everything you need in one book.

4Easy Read, Well Organized  May 25, 2009
By Bitsy R. Griffin
The Everything Get-A-Job Book by Dawn Rosenberg McKay was purchased for obvious reasons. I went into the book store and stood in front of the job-help books and started looking. I wasn't exactly standing in front of the section. There was a family with a baby in a stroller, so I kind of stood to the side and did a ton of leaning.

Chapter titles:

1. Before You Begin Your Job Search
2. Basics of Job Winning
3. Networking
4. Resumes
5. Resume Samples
6. Electronic Resumes
7. Cover Letters
8. Cover Letter Samples
9. Other Letters
10. Looking for a Job Online
11. Employment Services
12. Researching Companies
13. Interviewing
14. Practice Interview Questions
15. Special Interview Situations
16. Looking for a Job under Difficult Circumstances
17. The Job Offer
18. How to Handle Roadblocks
19. New and Recent Graduates
20. The Mature Job Candidate

The book was an easy read and laid out nicely. The book had suggestions for new graduates throughout but the book was definately written for anyone looking for a job. Step by step instructions are given for how to find companies, how to apply and follow up. I probably could have found everything in this book online. As a matter of fact, I think I've read most of it somewhere at some time. BUT it is nice to have it all in one location.

The first thing I did after reading the book was to sit down with my resume and reworked it. I didn't have to do much with it, but I didn't have a summary section and I had my education at the top instead of the bottom. I rephrased some of my experience.

Only time will tell how helpful it really is!
