Title: Advice I could actually use...
Product review: I am usually skeptical of books like this because they usually state the obvious and treat the reader like he/she has no common sense. But the straightforward title of this book seemed to promised a no-nonsense, practical approach to dispensing job seeking advice, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that that was indeed the case. Laskoff presents useful, actionable, effective advice for smart adults on not only finding a new job, but dealing with the emotional, financial, and logistical ramifications of losing your old one. And it's funny! (Must check out the website...) The humorous anecdotes and Laskoff's witty style help diffuse unemployment depression, and put the reader in a lighter, more productive frame of mind. It's certainly the best volume on this topic I've seen so far.
