IT WORKS!!! May 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Cynthia Shapiro's book is essentially "The Job Hunting" Bible of the highest order. She explains methodically and sequentially how to go about getting the job you want in corporate America in plain, simple to understand language. I immediately started getting calls from recruiters after I adjusted my resume and cover letter based on her suggestions and now getting interviews as a result. Her insights into how HR Recruiters work is extremely valuable and contrary to popular belief, they are not screening you in, they are screening out.
Cynthia walks you thru the process of how not to get "screened out" and get to the next step until you get the job offer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Ignore at your peril.

What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here?: 44 Insider Secrets That Will Get You Hired This is a brilliant book! It immediately grabs you, pulls you into the middle of the book and from then on it's non-stop reading. This book is extremely valuable for job searchers at all levels. I have read numerous books on interviewing and this is by far the best. Barbara Siegmund

I ordered What Does Somebody Have To Do To Get A Job Around Here after having searched for a job for over a year unsuccessfully. I am an older worker and have not had to look for a job for many, many years. Quite frankly I was baffled and frustrated by what I was seeing - overt discrimination, low paying jobs with very stiff requirements and 45 hour work weeks at a minimum. There were few responses to my initial contact with cover letter and resume. When I had interviews that seemed to go well I didn't get the follow up call.
I got Ms. Shapiro's book last week and the clouds have parted in many areas! The first thing I have done is follow her guidelines in changing my resume. The eye opener for me was her statement, "It's a billboard, not a book." It has to grab the hiring managers attention like a billboard does when you are on a highway. Make them interested, want to learn more. Full disclosure is not needed. My resume was a book that covered 30+ years of work experience. It was a hard process for me but I now have a crisp, eye catching resume.
Ms. Shapiro offers much more information and advice that I have started to put into use. The book is chock full of helpful insights and she is available to answer questions on her website, [...]. I have found her to be very generous with her time, information and encouragement.
I wish I had this book before I began my job search! I can't recommend it highly enough
Turns what you think you know upside down May 1, 2008

I just read this book in a day and a half. If you are looking for a job, think you might need to look for a job or want to help someone else, this is the book for you (or them). I graduated from college nearly 8 years ago and this is just the kind of information I could've used then and that I still can use now. The author breaks everything down and leaves no doubt as to why what you've been doing in your job search and even in your current job has been unsuccessful in getting you where you want to go. There aren't any company insiders, HR people or recruiters who are going to tell you what Cynthia Shapiro tells you; they are just going to expect you to know it. Getting hired and staying employed is a game and these are definitely the rules. Also, when you email Cynthia, she does call you back personally and will give you some of the best advice you've gotten in your career.
The BEST EVER on the market! She tells all the facts. April 24, 2008

I have been reading several books and this is by far the BEST for giving you all the details you need when trying to get a job. And you can actually e-mail her and get a free 15 min consulation. She actually contacts you back herself. She has been all over the news and major magazines as a top career coach.
Trust me buy this book first.
