5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful advice that you can apply to getting a job
This book was so easy to read! It provided clear guidance on how the skills I use in my every day life can be used to show employers how I can add value to their companies. It also provided me direction on how to market myself on social media and network, things I’m not great at. If I could understand and apply this advice, anyone can. The tone is conversational and I felt like the author actually cared about the audience and understood what it’s like to search for employment.
