Customer Reviews

Offers a concise career-planning overview

As the title of this book suggested, "Hired!" clearly and concisely touches upon each of the key components in the job-hunting and career-planning fields to help prepare those entering the workforce. From self-analysis, to career research, portfolio production, networking, marketing, interviewing, cover letters, resumes, and more, this book does a great job at providing easy-to-read guidelines and examples to aid in one's endeavor to securing a job. The all-blue colors used throughout the book can get a bit 'blah,' but that certainly doesn't take away from its content which is both educational and enjoyable to read. I felt that a few other career-related areas could've been touched upon to a greater degree--such as business attire and proper business meal etiquette, but overall it does a good job. Throughout each chapter, there are also many exercises which will help polish your understanding of the material presented while also building up your own career-related portfolio. I learned a lot from this book and would recommend it to recent graduates and jobseekers.
