 Rating:  - Practical, Spiritual and Great Recipe for SuccessIt took me two months to read and digest this book. I intend to use the tools, practices and steps to assist me in my job search. The author is fantastic, I had a couple of personal questions regarding my situation and Tony not only responded to my email, but he responded within the same day and gave sound advice that was needed and much appreciated! Rating: - Job Search SolutionThe best book on job hunting I've ever read.

The author also does a good job acknowledging and validating the emotional misery that goes along with finding a new job. While this might seem obvious, for me it was a major breakthrough in self-awareness.

Still, there are some things that one might learn for himself/herself by reading this book - the idea that you actually have to work on your job search, the fact that hiring managers have no clue about what they're doing etc. etc. Unfortunately, good parts are mostly lost in ... Read More Rating: - Very good bookA very good book to get a handle on what the dynamics are for finding a job. It will provide to you what is the mind set of the people doing the interview process. The only caveat is that you have to remember this is written from the perspective of a headhunter.
