Very general: no details to drive suggestions to completion

This is one of the books that I purchased during the last year to help me with my job hunt. I did not find it as helpful as others. This book is an introduction to the homework you would need to do with the help of other books. It does not tell you the details of what to do, just what you should do. For example, it tells you to have a compelling cover letter, but does not tell you what exactly makes a good cover letter (does not tell you what to include, what not to include, no sample sentences, not what helps in different industries). A number of other books for comparison did help me with those details. This book tells you tells you "know your value", but does not provide information on where to find such information. There are web sites that make that information available for various companies and geographic regions. This information could have been included but is not. This general type of advice continuous through out the book. The suggestions make sense, but they don't really help someone to drive those tasks to completion. Ali Julia review
