[Sean · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's a lot to this book. I was hoping for good advice on choosing a new career direction, and the advice here didn't help me with that. Some of the stuff in the book is rather dated, as it was written in the 1990s. However, much of the book has great advice for performing a job search, networking, building a good resume, and many more areas. So overall I would recommend this book still.
