DESCRIPTION:
It can help you get back on your feet as you bait sharks (the interviewer) and then reel them in (land the ideal job offer). Praised by such folks as Larry King, Elizabeth Dole, Steven Covey, and Jack Kemp, this friendly guide is divided into four sections: "Sink or Swim," "Ready?" "Aim," and "Hired!" Sprinkling the book with humorous and inspiring anecdotes, author Harvey Mackey is clearly sympathetic to the demoralized job applicant, using gentle language and concentrating heavily on how to deal with being "dehired." He suggests ways to raise the spirits, such as volunteering for something you are passionate about. "If the company that interviewed you is going to write a report on you," he asks, "shouldn't you, too?" This is an important read for anyone currently competing in today's "rat race." --Cate Bick. Have you ever feared the prospect of losing your job? These days,

Most of the people with whom I have spoken and books which I have read have advised me to be conservative. Harve. Worst of MacKay's Books Don't get me wrong. I love Harvey MacKay. I think all of his books (except this one) are phenomenal. this book might have been cutting edge when it was first written but those who are highly knowledgeable about job search strategies in this day and age will agree it just doesn't keep up with the times in being relevant for use today in 2003. It is eerie how the economy back then mirrors how it is now. There's some great Job search & Career books out there, Harvey's just isn't one of them.
