Very Helpful and Informative

In my opinion, this should be required material for anyone leaving school and searching for their first job. It would also be incredibly useful to anyone undertaking a career transition. Anderson has crafted a helpful book full of great information for job seekers.

In the current climate, this book is particularly useful. Anderson writes with a tone of humor and hope, and in a world where jobs are harder than ever to come by, that is particularly refreshing. Job hunting can be a frightening thing, and it can wear you down, but Anderson presents it as an exciting adventure.

The honesty and expertise held within this book are sure to be helpful to anyone in pursuit of a job. Eliminate the guesswork from your search. Anderson spells out for you exactly what you should and shouldn't do on your resume, in your interview, and even once you've gotten the job.

Simple, practical steps

If you could sum up Job Hunting: The Insider's Guide to Job Hunting and Career Change in three words, what would they be?

Easy to use

What was one of the most memorable moments of Job Hunting: The Insider's Guide to Job Hunting and Career Change?

I have read materials on this same topic and appreciated the extra chapter that she includes about the new buzzwords in the technology field which I haven't seen addressed before. AB testing, data mining, and marketing automation are used in a variety of industries, and they are explained clearly in this book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did want to keep reading this book but I can also refer to it again and again as a reference guide. This book is filled with simple, practical steps to help those who are hoping to either switch jobs or careers. Doing either can be very stressful and emotional, and this book helps the reader take small steps towards their goal. She gives examples of effective and ineffective ways to write your resume, and the comparisons are helpful. Emily Anderson discusses how to prepare for an interview and how to resign peacefully from your current employer while giving them positive, fair feedback. Anderson ends with a suggestion to create a 5-year plan. I love this idea and believe it could be useful in your career path but also in other areas of your life.

An Magnificent Gem

For all of the books I have read on finding a job, and the few high school and college classes I have attended on the subject. This book has been a serious eye opener for me.

To me, while listening to this book, It felt like a common day society course in job hunting. Every option at your disposal now, is gone over in surprising detail. The chapters are set up so you can skillfully and quickly maneuver yourself ahead of the majority of job seekers vying for the employment you desire. There is no jumping around from subject to subject. This is in no way a retelling of job searching practices from a decade ago. Granted the base foundations of preparation are still in play.

Explaining step by step instructions, Ms. Anderson uses real world examples, and constantly references professional employer and recruiter statements. By incorporating these types of examples throughout the book, the author uses enhances current mainstream careers as a backdrop. Of course, including social media processes as added steps on presenting oneself with professionalism. This writing style excels at showing the listener, both what is pertinent when in interviews, creating a resume, and networking inside your chosen industry. As well as, what is not acceptable when building your online persona, and face to face introductions. Ms. Anderson also tactfully uses common metaphors to explain somewhat complicated concepts. In my opinion, this gave me the proper mindset for understanding what employers truly desire and look for in the job market. Which has been something I have only thought about in passing and not really understood at its core.

Lastly, I was inspired to self empowerment from beginning to end. There was no room for me to feel overwhelmed with everything one has to do to go on the hunt for a job. This book is a very useful asset that I will be taking advantage of, immediately!

I'm An Adult....Now What?

Entering into the adult world after college is both one of the most exciting and the most terrifying things. And finding a job is arguably one of the hardest practices to get behind once you officially become a member of the adult world. I know from my personal experience, I found the idea of job hunting to be daunting and intimidating. Where do I start? How do I write a resume? What are some good and bad interview techniques? And how do I know if a job is actually a good one or not?

Emily Anderson lays it all out for you, quick and straight to the point. She walks you through each process and breaks it down into the Do's and Don't's of what to do when applying, when writing a resume, when interviewing, and even when you go in for your very first day. I know I found a lot of this to be very helpful advice and I would strongly recommend this book for anyone who is feeling a little lost in regards of where to take their next steps in the career world.
