getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Author Jason Rich offers a functional how-to targeted at job seekers. What it lacks in originality, the book makes up for in thoroughness. Rich provides lists of "action words" for use in resumes and cover letters, a review of likely interview questions, a description of four different resume formats, an exhaustive list of self-inventory questions, and topical advice from employment experts. The writing is uninspired, but novice job hunters probably aren't looking for breathless prose. getAbstract recommends this solid book to rookies just striking out into the job market, or for older job seekers who are just plain striking out
