A great guide to getting the job

This is an excellent book. The author has done a great job in pulling together the elements which spell success in the quest for employment. I recommend it.Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Accelerated Job Search" docwifford@msn.com

This is the best book about finding the job you want.

As a senior college student, I was not doing well on all the interviews that I had, untill I read Jeff Allen's Best: Win the job. After I read this book, my first interview turned out to be great and I was offered a job as a computer programmer. I would advice any one out there looking for a job to put this book in his/her bag and read before your interview.

This is one of the best books of the decade on resumes

Dear Fellow Job Hunters This is probably the best book of the decade on how to write resumes. All other books just explaine how resumes look like but this book takes you on a step by step approch and doesn't show you but tells you. If you are a first time job hunter I highly recomend it. If you are a seasoned pro you should still check it out resumes are changing format because of computers and video recording technology.What I hate about the book is that the sample resumes take on a problem and solutuion approch. Jeff Allen, gives an example resume and then tells you what is wrong with it.Jeff Allen forgets that no two resume is the same, becasue no two people have the same experiances, talents, abilities and back grounds to give a universal solution to resume problems.10/15/98
