Whoever said that "getting a job is a job" must have been in the field of education. This detailed account of how the job-hunt process works describes strategies that have failed candidates and also highlights activities that have proven to be successful for candidates who have taken the advice of experienced recruiters. It is a hands-on guide filled with real-life stories and suggestions that can help the job seeker get ahead of the competition and compete successfully in the market place.
