Lousy book  
This book is lousy for non-entree level job-seekers. It talks about attire, outlook etc. that one usually knows if he/she has worked before. It gives no solid avenues for locating jobs. If you ask me, don't get this book...it is not worth your money.

Great book so far  
So far I can't complain. It has all the elements and secrets you need. I have not read it all, but so far it is very very helpful.

Okay  
I got knocked dead from boredom, I got better advice from a 2 dollar kindle book, Interview tips from a chronic job hopper. Thats from the same guy who wrote the hilarious Job Hopper book Mr Instability. I mean think about it who would know more than a job hopper! But anyway, there is some good advice in this book and the way I look at it if you take a little from each book and classes the better of you will be.

The ONLY source you need for interviewing advice.  
My brother sent this to me when I was in my 20s (about 20 years ago), and it has been my interview practice "bible" ever since. It is the only thing I use (even though my edition is 20 years outdated), and I have built upon Yates' advice, and have 20 years of 1-paragraph accomplishments for each job I have had to review before interviewing. I am eager to buy the 2008 version to give to anyone I care about who is looking for a job. I have ALWAYS gotten a job offer after interviewing.
