 Job Tips for Employment in 60 Days Mar 06, 2008
By Bessie Ensley
"Bess"
This book was loaned to me and it was not what I expected. It was down to earth reading and I read the book in one sitting. The points brought out by the author were useful. I will be using this book as a resource to help others prepare for their interviews. What I liked most about the book was the way the author chose to write it. I felt comfortable as if I were speaking with a friend. The writing style is easy to read. I wish this was offered in audio format. When I returned the book I borrowed, I decided to purhase the book for myself. I like the humor and directness. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for employment. It gives a realistic view of what different people might be confronted with when seeking employment.

Very Informative! Sep 06, 2007
By Connie Epstein

There are some books you have for show, some to use as a paperweight.........However, this book is a must read! I found it easy to read and understand. This was a very entertaining book for a so called reference book. I am a co-op teacher at my high school and I make sure every student reads it before I send them out on an interview. it makes them better prepared and allows them to anticipate what might be asked. The better prepared and well balnced student I send out, the more students I can get placed in jobs. Thumbs up! So, it's been a win win situation for me.

 Wow...this is bad. Sep 28, 2008
By Nick
I have ordered a lot of books off Amazon and rarely leave reviews and the ones I have reviewed are good ones. This book is so bad I'm leaving a review so others don't waste their money like I did.
This book looks like it was self-published. Apparently neither the author nor the publisher bothered to proof read what must have been the rough draft.
This slim book is riddled, I mean riddled, with typos. Spelling errors, comma splices, capitalization errors, etc. abound. The writing is choppy and it reads like the author just began writing whatever came into his head and neglected making an outline.
The writer comes off sounding amateurish and it makes you wonder if he isn't a hiring manager for McDonald's or Best Buy. Actually, it reads more like some college assignment. "Today students, you're going to write a how-to book on getting a job in 60 days..."
Alot of his "advice" is common sense or not exactly kosher (i.e. changing your job title on your resume to a title that is more impressive sounding). Each "chapter" or section is one and a half pages with half a page of white space.
I'm not even sure I can make it all the way through. Save your money and buy What Color Is My Parachute.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the positive reviews for this bird cage liner come from his family and friends.
