This review is from: Handbook for (IT) Job Hunters (Paperback)

I've read countless resources on job-hunting and the interview process, but nothing as complete and well thought-out. As a Finance professional transitioning to IT, Dan's suggestions were critical in rebuilding my resume to highlight key systems and technical skills.

This book is a great tool for all job-seekers, not just IT professionals!

This guide is a must read for any and every professional looking to pursue an opportunity within Information Technology. Dan's Common Sense and over 4 decades of experience in this arena provides each page with his wealth of knowledge and insights that can only come from a true professional Coach's perspective. With each read, I have gained more insight into my own professional objectives and learned how best to communicate and fulfill them. This book is a powerful tool for anyone looking to pursue a successful search for a position within Information Technology. As an IT professional I highly recommend it to current and prospective members of the IT family.....Thanks so much, Dan

This review is from: Handbook for (IT) Job Hunters (Paperback)

After working in a professional environment for Twenty Five years and spoken with countless number of other professionals about job hunting techniques over the years. I came across this book which I feel is the best book I have ever read on job hunting and resume preparation. This handbook covers everything about job hunting that I learned in my career and a lot more. I wish I had a book like this Twenty years ago, I will definitely have my two older kids currently in college read this book. This will be very useful to them when they graduate from college and start their job search.
