I thought this book was a little behind the times with some of it's language. When suggesting a booming economy and unlimited opportunities (not quotes or exact wordage) it was obviously talking about a different era. On the other hand he offers great advice and some interesting interview questions for the applicant. I specifically like his negative view on objectives as a section for your resume. I would definitely suggest this book and while your at it read the power of who and Fired to hired all back to back and you will be on your way to the work you love.

First, let me say I would recommend readers aim to finish this book in 3-5 days. That will allow for more time to dedicate to the job search process. There's really no reason to only digest a single chapter a day.
I think Dan Miller provided an excellent overview of how times are changing and we need to get on board. He explained how the idea of a secure job is becoming something of the past and people need to take more initiative themselves for finding meaningful work.
What I really enjoyed about this book was that Miller gives PRACTICAL insights. Many professional development books are all fluff, but not this one. He discusses the current trends in cover letters, resumes, the interview process, salary negotiation, and much more. Miller also includes personal accounts and examples which help emphasize his points.
