As a career professional with over twenty-five years of experience, I always approach new books with the thought, tell me something I dont know already. I must say, when I was asked to review this book I expected that I would find things that I never thought of. Barbara, who has presented at Pace, has encyclopedic knowledge of the job search and strategy process. In fact, I would call this book the encyclopedia of job search and strategy. The book is full of tips, to-dos, and not-to-dos for every phase of the job search process.

It starts with a discussion of job boards, unrealistic expectations, branding, and standing out, and continues with resumes, networking, using social media sites, and interviewing. The book is loaded with specific examples and uses humor throughout.

I would highly recommend this book for job seekers from graduating students to experienced professionals.
