[Blodstrupmose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bogen har en interessant og anderledes tilgang til jobsøgning. Væk med CV og ansøgninger, og at man istedet skal fokusere på at få taget kontakt til personerne fra virksomhederne. Så William forsøger at kombinere uopfordret jobsøgning med almindelig opslået jobsøgning. Det er en interessant tanke, men kommer nok i den grad til at afhænge af, hvilket job og branche man søger i. Så kan det godt være, at William siger at man bare skal smide CV'et ud, men den går nok ikke idag. CV'et er det første der bliver kigget på. Så på det punkt virker bogen noget forældet, men jeg kan meget godt lide hans tilgang til jobsøgning. Det skal ikke være så skide stift og firkantet.

The best book on finding a job I have ever read. 'What Color is Your Parachute' is good at helping you find your interests and what jobs those lead to. But Break the Rules is unmatched in strategies for finding the job you want in spite of what others tell youl
