THIS IS THE BOOK THAT GOT ME MY JOB, AND ESSETIALLY CHANGED MY LIFE. I recommned it to any and everyone looking to start a new job search endeavour.Aug 17, 2016
I'm on a self-improvement binge right now, so I'm re-reading this and working (and tweaking) each piece of crafting my new "improved" resume. This is a good process in figuring out what employers are looking for and using pertinent information in finding your new job. It can applied to the contract/freelance set also.Sep 21, 2008
This was the singlemost useful book I consulted on my "carpet bomb" search for gainful permanent employment in a field I adore. Obviously, there are newer editions--and I'd recommend going with the most recent. The advice covers everything from preparation and research before the interview, to how to deal with the range of competent and hideously incompetent interviewers out there (sadly, they *dont'* know who they are), to practical advice for meals (with the possible exception of the directive This was the singlemost useful book I consulted on my "carpet bomb" search for gainful permanent employment in a field I adore.

The advice covers everything from preparation and research before the interview, to how to deal with the range of competent and hideously incompetent interviewers out there (sadly, they *dont'* know who they are), to practical advice for meals (with the possible exception of the directive to cut your entire salad into bite-sized pieces!), the importance of handwritten thank you notes, and other follow-up advice (e.g., how to solicit feedback on unsuccessful interviews). This is an amazing resource, and would make a great textbook in any university capstone course where you're getting your folks ready to head out into the real world. ...moreApr 16, 2010
Exhaustive and clear--a very good place to start a job search. I recommend it.Feb 17, 2011
Good info, and I'm sure it's a very helpful guide, but it had a slightly condescending tone to it that didn't quite sit right with me!Jun 23, 2008
The Knock 'em Dead series offers the most helpful and useful career advice I have ever read.Aug 10, 2009
If you are looking for a job then get this book! It really gives a job seeker a heads up on what to expect in tough interview situations. In today's market we need all the help we can get!Aug 21, 2016
Wasn't anything in it that was new or revolutionary. Make sure you don't smell, make sure you look the part, listen, etc. Nothing new.May 09, 2015
This book has an useful chapter on negotiating a job offer; including salary, stocks, noncompete agreements and benefits. Everything else, was common sense. I suggest picking it up at the library to read that single chapter.Jan 06, 2012
I thought this was a great book! I read it last year and used it to rewrite my resume, and I ended up getting a job a few weeks later after tapping into my network. I'd recommend this as a good resource for anyone looking to make a change or on the hunt for a job.Aug 09, 2011
Very in-depth discussion on a lot of job-search subjects. I appreciated the attempt to link the book to the ever-expanding world of technology we live in but the lists of websites became distracting.Jun 11, 2015
Prepares you for all types of interview questions from the basic "tell me about yourself" to harder more obscure questions. Questions are listed alphabetically in the back of the book for easy reference. This book pays off!Oct 06, 2015
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very educational and helpful. I have donated this book to the media center at the High School that I work at. The information we had on our shelves was outdated and this was a great new resource for our students. Thanks again for the book, and a huge thank you from our high school students.Nov 13, 2012
This book really stunk! I thought a lot of the advice given in the book was complete crap and I got the feeling that the jobs he was preparing you for were super high corporate jobs, which is not what I'm interested in at all. Also, it's never wise to lie about who you are or what you're calling about just to get to speak with somebody who can hire you... Not wise at all, Mr. Yate...Jan 15, 2014
Excellent overview for job searching. It includes resources, explanations about how to use them, and great tips on specific areas of concern within a job search. The website, however, didn't have much of what the book claims it has, such as the "What can I do with a degree database". Rather, the website was simply a marketing tool to get you to buy further help from the author.Sep 13, 2016
Excellent guide to anyone in the job hunt or thinking about looking for work. This is the newest edition where the author has excellent online sources and info that is very useful. The writing style is very good with respect to real examples of concepts that every job seeker should try to improve. I do think this is one of the better choices of so many books out there on this topic that everyone will face at some point in their lives. I've made it a point to read it a second time as there is so Excellent guide to anyone in the job hunt or thinking about looking for work.

Knock em Dead the Ultimate Job Search Guide 2011 the 25th Anniversary Edition by Martin Yate is a good book. I did learn a few things but for the most part I already knew a lot of what this book was about. I did like the way Martin Yate wrote about the Me Inc. It made me look at me in a different way. This book was a good reminder and refresher for me. There are several websites to go to for help he references, I thought that was good to include.

This is a good reference for re-entering the job market or brushing up on your skills. I was expecting it to be a better all-encompassing job hunting book, but it is lacking in the chapter on resumes. It spent too much time on developing and analyzing your skills, and too little on actual example resumes (probably so you'll buy the author's specialized book on resumes). Also, the book is geared more toward the sales industry.
