I feel like this started out well, but I felt patronized after a while. I feel like this book is written for someone who has been living in a cave and does not know the internet exists. For example one of the things he suggests (paraphrased) '...Use a search engine, Google, Bing, Yahoo, or your favorite to look for jobs..' Really?? You don't say. Or with regards to reaching out to people to talk about their career path '...Do not got straight to the head of the company...they don't have time....go to a subordinate...' I feel like most people already know that unless the know the head guy personally. I truly do not appreciate being patronized, I would have liked to learn new things, not regurgitated stuff I already knew. Also why on earth did they let the Christianity thing stay in the revision? That is very rude and awkward. I respect that it is important to this man, but if you are writing a job hunting book for EVERYONE, please leave religion at home. I also still do not know exactly what I want to do. I have been doing the workbook. This guy pushes the whole "Dream Job/Career", "Favorite" skills. I personally don't have "favorite" skills. I have things that I am good at, and do not totally hate. Also there is a reasonable fear of a dream job becoming a chore, or it's just not cracked up what you thought it would be. There is nothing wrong with doing something you like, even though it may not be your passion per se. He also REALLY pushes networking a lot. Problem with using LinkedIn or reaching out to people via email: Not everyone checks their LinkedIn regularly, and some people will be very annoyed at strangers emailing them for informational interviews. I am not a social butterfly at all, and I really do not want to bother people. (I already fear that I annoy people all the time anyway) I'd recommend a different book, hopeful the author won't patronize you!
