Review by: W. Blake Heitzman on Feb. 22, 2013 :
You can spend more money, but this little book has the information you need.
Larry Gray's "How to Find a Job" is a must read for all college seniors, as well as, professionals who seek new employment. College students, even those who are majoring in technical professions, seldom are instructed in job search tactics. In today's world, the serious job seeker cannot leave their job application to happenstance. There are too many others competing for your job, and it's too easy to be overlooked; or worse, tossed aside for unprofessional or sloppy practices.
I divide Larry's book into three keys parts: prior to the interview, the interview, and post interview. All are important, but getting the interview is probably the most challenging for most people. When you finally land the interview that you worked so hard to get, you certainly want to make the most of your chance to land the job. Follow Larry's suggestions. I assure you they have worked for people I have hired, and friends who I have helped prep for their interviews. Often there are two or more candidates that are in the running after the interviews. Use Larry's follow up advice and swing the decision in your favor.

Need a JOb? Let that be your job--Getting one--says Larry B Gray who offers the best advice in its simplest form. I've read many a 300 page text on these topics and they don't give up nearly the amount of simple, clear advice that Gray offers in these short works. They are a quick read and offer easy, tangible ways to deal with employees, write a speech or find a job. Well worth the price of the texts.Brenda J Wood-author of Meeting Myself, Snippets of a Binging and Bulging Mind
