I recently have been looking at a number of books about job hunting and noticed that the number of books available at the Library and bookstore keeps growing. I wonder what percent of the candidates for employment are looking at these books. So I will do a poll.
The only ones I ever bought or found helpful were the one or two that have 101 interview questions and tips on how to not let the really tricky ones trip you up. But then again I've only involuntarily been out of work (not including medical leave which was also involuntary) for five weeks of the past 16 years.
I think there are better and more current ways of getting job hunt information.
Written guides will either be very general in nature or directed towards a narrowly defined field. Also keep in mind many of the books you find in a library will be outdated.
One of the best I've found is called What Color is your Parachute? by Bolles.
