I love this book, given to me as a gift by my dear friend. It's excellent, and I loan it out whenever I can. I swear it helped me be so confident with my job search, boost my resume, AND get a salary over $6k than I thought I was worth with an extra week's vacation. Damn, that makes a good book! Even if you're not currently job searching, you should read this!
