This has to be the ultimate job search reference book available on the market today. I have purchased several books with similar claims in the past; however they never lived up to my expectations. What sold me to write this review is the fact that the book acts like a personal mentor to you during the whole job hunt process. It gives you a tremendous confidence booster and opens up doors of opportunities for you to really get creative and result driven. Don't fool yourself by thinking that activity and accomplishment is the same thing. This book is all about accomplishments and results. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are a new grad or a veteran, this book will show you how to maximize your worth in the market today. Believe me when I say this, a wrong job hunt approach can really be discouraging to your self image (been there done that), so do it right the first time. Buy this book, you can't go wrong.

Thank You,

5 out of 5 stars The best job hunting book I ever read hands down!   August 1, 2009

I want to first preface my review by stating I am not getting paid to review this book, and I rarely review anything on Amazon. That being said I have been in the recruiting industry for 11 years, and am used to giving out job hunting advice. Due to the economy I was out of work for 6 months, and trying utilize "old school" methods of obtaining a job. (Job boards, calling on friends etc)

The months went by, and I needed an effective and strategic way of job hunting. I picked up this book after reading an interview with David Perry on a whim, and read it cover to cover. It is not for the faint of heart, and will require you to put a little elbow grease in the game, but the tools and suggestions are very effective. I bought the book, read it, traded a few emails with the author and landed a position less then two weeks away. I can gladly show the receipt of the book, compared to my actual start date if you need proof. Though I did not use all of the tools and suggestions in the book, the ones I did try were effective, impressive and set me apart from the pack.

I highly recommend this book for any job hunter looking to be noticeable, any salesperson looking to break into new accounts, any recruiter looking for unique ways to attract talent. Most of the suggestions can be used in a similar fashion in other areas besides looking for a job.



5 out of 5 stars It's a terrific read and full of great info   November 13, 2009

I just finished up Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0 and I thought it was a terrific read. Full of insightful thoughts and ideas. Sure, some are common sense and some I had already thought about. But what I did take away from the book was that it convinced me I was approaching my job search in a positive direction and it provided me with an arsenal of new ideas too.

Networking is such a useful and yet under used tool. David Perry is spot on with his review of Linkedin being such a powerful way to reach out to people but into companies (pages 187 - 193). I gained an interview with a company because I knew a lot of people who knew the person I was meeting with. He simply had to see me! David Perry and I are also now connected via Linkedin.

I also thought his chapter on "Creative Ways To Find A Job (Chapter #10) was intriguing. One really stood out; I should send a letter to potential employers stating I am overqualified for the job - all the more reason that we should meet; an interesting and unique approach to a very real problem.

I borrowed a copy from my library but I will be buying one (from Amazon.com) so I can highlight those items that caught my attention.
