Definitely a college textbook and workbook rolled into one. Although that being said, it has very good up to date information. Job hunting, resume, cover letter, psychology of the interviewer, etc. Want to update yourself for the new style of job hunting? This book provides sound building blocks.

Great book. It will help you to get ready for your job interviews if you have no experience. It will also help you to improve your resume and build a good cover letter.Career development is the best class I have taken so far and this book is very helpful.I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve his/her chance to be hire in a good company.

This book is extremely valuable for employment and strategies to obtain work. This book will prepare you for the work place; regardless of degree. This is a valuable source of information. You are your best asset! Sell your BEST to the employer. I received book at a fair price and in a new condition.

This textbook has some good advice if you have never been in the workforce before. If you have worked before, you probably don't need this particular book unless required by your instructor.

I only had to have this textbook, obviously for a class, but it is exactly what my instructor required. The textbook is quite easy to read and chapters are not unreasonably long.

Good examples of resumes. I used it for a class on building skills for interviewing and completing resumes, cover letters, etc., and it helped.

Great book and easy to read. The book has easy guidlines to follow and I enjoyed reading it. This book has a fun design to it.

I was disapointed with the advertisment of this book, it was supposed to have an access card an it did not. I needed the book for a class so I didn't have a chance to send it back. Otherwise the book is in great condition.
