As my title suggests, this outstanding classic book has the best chapters I've ever read on "Interviewing" and "Negotiating Salary" in my 40 years of employment and leadership! These 2 chapters are worth 10 times the cost of the book, at least. Every time I've changed jobs or interviewed for jobs, I have re-read these 2 chapters and they have helped me Ace my interviews and salary negotiations.
As you likely know and as other reviews attest, this is a tremendous classic book, updated annually. I bought my first copy ~25 years ago and have given copies to others several times over the years. I have also bought a couple updated copies for myself.
Easy to read. And what its core value has been is helping job and career seekers 1) learn how best to find a new job, and, 2) "What do I want to do in the next chapter of my life?: The 1st half of the book is about how to find that next job, which is almost totally the opposite of what most of us think we should do. And the second half helps you answer the question "What do I want to do in the next chapter of my life?" when at a job or career crossroad. The Flower Diagram that you complete if you go through the 2nd half I have referenced multiple times over the last 25 years. And it has helped me stay in touch with my core values and career desires.
Just can't beat this book. Possible the best book I've ever read for my life after The Bible! :-)

Loved it so much I created spreadsheets!!
I’ve heard about this book over the years but never thought it for me. After getting stuck in a trap of applying for dozens of jobs, interviewing here or there and ultimately not finding a good fit for nearly two years, I finally realized I needed more guidance. Voila. A dear friend recommended this book again and I was hooked from page one.Every exercise isn’t needed for me but the summation of what the author guides you through on a path of self discovery that is about so much more than job hunting, is truly eye opening and life changing. I do not regret a single penny and have already sent copies to three friends and family members trying to sort their career ambitions.This book is not for the faint of heart but if you take finding the right place for you at the right time in your life seriously, this book will really get you there if you work hard at the exercises that you need most. I even made my own online spreadsheets so I can refer back to it anywhere any time using Google Drive. I plan to revisit every year to see how I grow.Highly recommended for job hunters, career changers, and those inexplicably unsatisfied with their day to day. Work makes up nearly half of our lives for the vast majority of us who work far beyond a standard 9-5 so it’s worth investing in the right choices when you can, for the sake of your own joy and happiness.
