review 1: I see this book received less than 3 stars on average, and now I am curious as to why. As someone who was recently looking for a job, I find a lot of helpful anecdotes in this book, even after going through my fair share of outplacement training. The only knock on it may be the way it's organized. It tends to jump around a lot and be repetitive, but yet it's also arranged in a highly entertaining way. Let's face it....job search books are usually dull and feel like there are bashing you over the head with stuff you don't want to do. But MacKay puts much of it in perspective and makes you realize whether you really want the job or not.
review 2: This was interesting, although I didn't love it. As someone who is interested in libraries, a lot of the corporat... moree stuff just wouldn't work for me. And a lot of the "right" responses to interview questions just seemed so cheesy, fake, and obvious. Maybe this is super naive of me, but I believe in being honest in job interviews and not completely spinning the answer. I want to work in a place where I'm a good fit and where I'm happy. If I answer that I'm okay with any management style, and end up with a micro-managing boss, I wouldn't be a happy camper, and that would be no one's fault but my own. However, if you're mid-career and in the corporate world, this might be a helpful resource. less
