Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended!

In the latest edition of the College Grad Job Hunter, Brian D. Krueger, a post-college career authority, provides a highly targeted book on job hunting skills for recent college graduates. While others seeking entry level jobs can benefit, the emphasis is on how to prepare while you are still in college or just graduating. As such, it is a solidly written and well-organized book that views job hunting as a process and provides step-by-step techniques for searching for that ideal job. It is a useful how-to manual even if it duplicates some of the advice in other books, such as What Color is Your Parachute? Krueger helpfully includes sample letters, phone messages and job hunting Web sites and books. We recommend this good, basic book for all novice job hunters (not just freshly-minted college grads).

Recent Grads - Look No Further

I have recommended this book to so many of my friends, I wouldn't be doing it justice if I didn't write a review here as well.I purchased this book just about a year ago, and I now find myself in the great job that it helped me to land (in a very challenging environment) with a Big Five Consulting company. Krueger offers tips in all of the necessary categories from start to finish, from resumes to job fairs to interviews to salary negotiation. I remember re-reading the relevant chapter before each step in the hiring process with my current employer. Every step of the way, this book offered tips that helped me to seal the deal. For the [money] you'll pay, you can't find a better investment. You'll never approach the job search the same way again!

A MUST HAVE for anyone seeking employment at any level

I spent the weekend reading the book. On Monday I booked a flight to New York City to try my luck. By Thursday I had two outstanding offers from two incredible companies that I thought that I could never get as a college graduate. Brian provides you the momentum to utilize your creativity in landing the job that you want. Is it a surprise that I out competed applicants with more experience then me? Read the book to find out!

This is a really good book for college students.

This book covers the entire job search process, from selecting your chosen field to finding the job. It was especially helpful for me, as an international student seeking my first job here in the U.S. Everything was easy to understand, but also gave the level of detail I needed. In the end, I felt like I was in control, instead of just waiting for others. Highly recommended to all college students.

Best College Prep Job Hunting Handbook Around!

Before reading this book I had zero job offers. After reading this book I was able to prepare myself professionally with the right answers for those tough interview questions! Then with my new interview techniques, I had generated two great offers from fortune 500 companies! This book was my bible and traveled everywhere with me. Thank you Brian Krueger!
