review:

'This Is How To Get Your Next Job' by Andrea Kay is a no nonsense guide to landing a job in the times we are in. Andrea Kay writes in an amiable style, and this is a really helpful book.



It's amazing what folks will do and say in an interview and common (and uncommon) errors are shared. There are stories from hiring managers at companies, and lots and lots of tips. There is a great list of things that employers are looking for, as well as lists of things not to do like come into an interview with earbuds on. Resume and cover letter tips are given as well as tips for calming nerves.



Having recently hired someone, I wish I had read this book first. I might have been less nervous as the hiring manager and maybe steered the conversations differently.



I found this to be a very user friendly and highly useful book. Even though much of the information would seem to be common sense, my recent experience would say otherwise. If you're looking for a career, this is a good place to start.



I received a review copy of this ebook from AMACOM Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this helpful ebook.
