This book very effectively walks through the process of researching companies, making contacts at those companies, preparing for interviews, and securing a position.It advocates an aggressive process of identifying companies in the fields you want to work in, whether they have open positions or not. You then research these companies, looking for viable contacts. You call these contacts, looking for open positions that may or may not be advertised. The rationale is that "90%" of the filled positions aren't advertised and this gives you an advantage in finding a new job.At the same time, it says that while you should pursue the traditional job search methods (job boards, networking, etc), you shouldn't count on them. Graham likens these methods to "winning the lottery".Here is where the book is excellent. It gives great tips for organizing the job search, researching companies and contacts, and getting prepared for every stage in the interview process (phone interview, in-person interview, negotiation, and acceptance). It provides helpful forms for keeping track of the information. It provides great techniques for how to present yourself.The only issue I have with the book is that it's very clear that you *must* follow the whole procedure, including dismissing your network of friends and collegues to call people who probably can't help you. (the book admits that it's a numbers game - 150 contacts called will lead to three interview that lead to a job offer)I don't fully agree with this approach. If you are well-qualified and/or have a strong network that you've maintained during your career, I don't think you'd need to call people that don't know who you are and have provided no reason to believe they have an open position.
