Title: New career guide offers practical and useful advice
Review: Job seekers that are looking for a comprehensive and thoughtful book on finding a job should buy The Harvard Business School Guide to Finding Your Next Job. What struck me about this particular guide was the author's commitment to the entire process from being out of work to negotiating the final offer. Robert Gardella covers commonsense information such as resumes and interviews, but takes the book one step further by offering crucial tips on negotiating, networking, search firms, and job fairs. After reading this book, I promptly adjusted my list of references to remove the CEO at my old company, because according to Gardella, it can be hard for the reference checker to get a hold of such a senior level person--thus hurting the chance to get the job. Advice like this makes this book worth the price. Small enough to fit in a briefcase or backpack, this career guide does it all!
