Started listening to this audiobook and had to stop because of the incessant use of male pronouns when referring to the person doing the hiring.

I realize this is a rerelease of a book from 2006 (I think?) But did they at least look over the existing text before pressing print and say to themselves, “huh the world has changed a bit in the past 10 years, maybe this needs some updates?”

From the way this is written no hiring manager has ever been a woman.

Disclaimer: I didn’t make it through the whole book, but that’s because I just wasn’t relating to it as a woman. Seemed to be directed mostly at men—one of the “bros” trying to get another sales job. And why were all the bosses mentioned always he’s? Anyway, helpful information, but I felt like I needed to be the captain of my HS football team and have a background in Boy Scouts in order to attract the attention of an interviewer.

Quick read. Helpful in building self confidence for individuals in the planning phases of a promotion of job interview. Several unnecessary tangents, but overall worth taking in content in its entirety rather than picking chapters with the most catchy titles.

[Barney · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book provides useful advice for being a successful employee or job candidate. However, its biggest flaw is the lack of diverse representation as the examples of managers and supervisors predominantly feature men. I would rate the book 4 stars if a revised edition with more inclusive representation was published.
