Negative Positive
Title: Trading on the Harvard name
Review: I can't believe this book was even published. It is nothing more than another in a long line of "laundry list" job search books, including such advice as "don't be late for an interview" and "dress conservatively." Make sure there are no typos on your resume or cover letter, and SIGN that cover letter too! Not bad advice, mind you, but hardly worth the price. And if you have to be told not to be late and to sign your letters, you are already beyond hope. There are already hundreds of career books crowding the shelves, better written and certainly better organized than this one--which rambles and repeats itself. If this guy wasn't at the Harvard Business School I can't believe this would have ever made it into print. Don't judge this book by its cover--the fact that it comes from a business school doesn't make it worth buying.
Is the review positive or negative?
