Third one I own November 3, 2009 Rodrigo V. Illanes (Stoneham, MA USA) This book offers a relatively comprehensive and aggressive approach to job seeking. Mr. Yate would suggest his other two books as well, Resumes, and Cover Letters.
You always seem to think that you could be doing more in the job search, and this book gives you plenty of ideas and exercises to prepare you for interviews.
The first book I used was Knock 'em Dead 1994. The interview question preparation is pretty much the same. What is really helpful is the recent update on job seeking strategies, with up to date info on how to leverage the web and on line networks. That in itself was worth purchasing it.
This book will definitely help you.
I knocked 'em dead! July 1, 2009 A. Robinson This book was tremendous and I got a job with no problem after a few tweaks.
The first book I recommend for job hunting! May 27, 2009 Stephen Amos (Aliso Viejo, CA United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
`Knock `Em Dead' is one of the best books on job hunting ever. Did not understand job interviews until I read this book. I pull out the book and reread it every time I am going to prepare for an interview. It is that valuable for job hunting, because it is a how to book telling you how to prepare to succeed.
Have recommended `Knock `Em Dead' for years to people in transition, and bought several copies to give away. Literally it is the first book I recommend to job hunters if they know what job they want.
I recommend `What Color is Your Parachute' because of the exercises to know yourself. It is much better to know where you want to live, how much you need to make, and what your priorities are before you find just any job. Instead find a job that fits you well and you can thrive. It also reminds you there are games played by people in the process, and not to take those personally.
What Color Is Your Parachute? 2009: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers
If you are considering or in a transition, I recommend `Adapt! How to Survive and Thrive in the Changing World of Work'. It is a collection of career stories, how to's, and advanced techniques for finding good careers. The advantage of Adapt! is you get more than one person's viewpoint as it was written by 13 successful business owners, coaches, and professionals with real world experience in different industries. You will learn something that will give you an advantage in job hunting or starting a new career. I am a co-author, but I read the book to learn. My co-authors have a lot of experience and we want to give back to you.
Adapt! How to Survive and Thrive in the Changing World of Work
Remember, the most critical thing is your attitude. All three books recommended here will teach you, but your attitude controls how successful you will be through a transition. Good luck and God bless.

Incredibly Informative April 16, 2009 Lynn Ott (Takoma Park, MD USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book not only goes into details of how one should go about finding a job in today's economy, but offers advice on how to stay positive during your job search. Suggestions on how to respond to interviewer's questions, using the internet during your job search and tips on what to do if you don't get the job offer make this guide not only informative but invaluable.
From the perspective of a job and career transition coach March 13, 2009 Mark N. New (NY/NJ) 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
There are many books to chose from on the topic of how to mount a successful job search campaign. In my estimation, this book, along with "Parachute" are two of the best among the many availabe. Each edition offers practical, well-organized and useful approaches in securing interviews and landing a position in this particularly difficult job market. I can say with confidence that if you are looking for a starting place, you could do much worse than selecting this edition to jumpstart your search. Good luck and "Always Be Careering"!
