48 Days To The Work You Love

2 stars (Not worth it) - I listen to Dave Ramsey every day and read his books, I really think he's on the ball with his advice and helping people a lot. I can also understand why he advertises and endorses Dan Miller; Miller's heart is clearly in the right place and Im sure he's amazing as a one-on-one job counseler. But this book isn't anything special. I just got off the job hunt and I have to say that much of this advice can be found for free, on the internet, and is part of the whole college experience (which is about finding what you like to do and studying it in further detail). The book mainly says, "look and find out what you really want to do", "go find companies that do it", "let your enthusiasm show" and "negotiate shrewdly". Yes, this is all good advice, but its mostly common sense - you dont need to spend $20 to learn this advice. So, you know, maybe Im too young and optimistic, but I really dont see the point or need for a book like this. Dave Ramsey, yes absolutely - everyone should listen to him. But Miller and his book - no, unless you go directly to him for job counseling. This book is much too general and non-commital to be of much use. 5 stars (48 Days to the Work You Love) - This book provides many practical and very helpful approaches to finding a good job. I had just lost a job that I loved for 28 years and needed a refresher to help me find another job to love. I found the book very helpful. 1 stars (Worth neither the time nor money) - This book essentially turned out to be a hardcover advertisement to buy more of the author's material in order to "really discover the work you love." It eluded to proving helpful for a moment with discovering more about ones potential vocation, but then gave YET ANOTHER reference to his website where you could purchase the information for another $37.50. The minor amount of basic material is the same as can be found on most any career counseling website, but with constant advertisements for the author's o...

What Color Is Your Parachute- 2005- A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers

5 stars (Must have book for every job seeker; insightful.) - Ok. This is the best of the best. Worth full price. I don't care so much for the exercises and things like that. But the book can be summed up as a three in one. It covers: Job seeking (main aspect) Interviewing Salary Negotiation As well as identifying your true passion and learn more about the type of jobs you would really like to do. People that succeed generally like what they do so this book is a great resource that will help you identify what you love to do. When work is enjoyable, you tend to do better, get promoted etc. I am a college grad and this book is worthy of being used in a college environment to teach a class that would cost far more than the price of this book. No matter what field of work you do, get this book if you are looking for a job. I guarantee you will learn about yourself and identify some of your inner goals and desires. 5 stars (What color is your parachute?) - I received the book in an excellent amount of time and it was in the condition stated when I purchased it, which was excellent. I recommend to every one. 5 stars (GREAT FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS) - This book gave me all kinds of tips that no professors were able to. It also provided me with insight on emotional aspects that can affect both the interviewer and interviewee during an interview. I cannot express how much I believe this book has to offer. It's definitely not on one of those books you buy and then think, 'Okay, so didn't I already know all of that?' ...

Heard on The Street- Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews

1 stars (amazon has a very slow shipping!!) - this is a review on amazon, not the book. i haven't got the book yet. but don't be fooled by the 'Usually ships within 24 hours' message. i ordered on sept 11, and the estimated dilevery date keeps moving...., now it's sept 26-30. what the hell? 5 stars (Super Job!) - Very very insightful and useful: right on in terms of what types of issues anyone doing quantitative financial analysis should be conversant in, things that should be on the tip of your tongue 2 stars (too old) - I bought this book one month ago from Amazon. Although the newest version, I think it is too old for today's interview. The questions in my interviews are not similar as those in the book and much harder. Actually, I don't expect to get answers from the book, only try to make myself less nervous if I have some idea what the question will look like, however, this book doesn't do the job. ...
