review 1: This is a good reference for re-entering the job market or brushing up on your skills. I was expecting it to be a better all-encompassing job hunting book, but it is lacking in the chapter on resumes. It spent too much time on developing and analyzing your skills, and too little on actual example resumes (probably so you'll buy the author's specialized book on resumes). Also, the book is geared more toward the sales industry. However, the book does provide substantial guidance on networking and interviewing, the latter of which I have found to be the most useful. The potential questions and "what are they really asking" example answers help you to imagine what you would say in similar scenarios in your own field.
review 2: Knock em Dead the Ultimate Job Sear... morech Guide 2011 the 25th Anniversary Edition by Martin Yate is a good book. I did learn a few things but for the most part I already knew a lot of what this book was about. I did like the way Martin Yate wrote about the Me Inc. It made me look at me in a different way. This book was a good reminder and refresher for me. There are several websites to go to for help he references, I thought that was good to include. I feel like this is an excellent book for a teacher teaching a class in high school on life skills. I also thought it was good for the college age group who are looking for a job after graduation. I give the book four stars. less
