Can I Wear My Nose Ring to the Interview?: A Crash… par Ellen Gordon Reeves
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Immediately, I was drawn to the title and knew this was a book that our college students would want to pick up. It was an interesting read that covered a number of relevant topics for young adults navigating a job search. While some of the information might go against what we would advise students (i.e. the answer to the title's question), the book still has valuable perspectives to share to the reader.

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Overall, I feel this book offers sound advice for new job hunters and I agree with the majority of book. I actually followed the advice in this book on my last job interview and I was offered the job. I used the advice in the book to decide that the job was not right for me - and it was the right decision.
This author has done a great job making appearances and promoting the book - I have seen her on nearly every news station at one time or another! I hope she decides to write a book on how to be an outstanding HR person in the 21st century. I am so tired of HR people thinking that skills are not transferable and that you must have 15 years experience to operate a computer. I also love the black hole most applications go into - applications are are never acknowledged & rejection letters are a thing of the past!… (plus d'informations)
