This book has lots of good information but it is NOT worth $40. $20 maybe.

don't leave work without it
I've used Asher's Executive Bible for several years now. My brother recently lost his job at IBM and I immediately bought him a copy of his own. In this market your resume is little more than another unwanted piece of junk mail. You need to be polished and must stand out from an increasingly large crowd to find a good position and further your career. Asher's Executive Bible gives you practical ...

a battle-worn job seeker
Only after spending almost 1.5 years of fruitless job searching am I truly able to appreciate the advice in this book. The #1 lesson: use the telephone! Use it for almost everything, from company research to actually finding the job opening. Finding jobs is like those slide puzzles with tiles -- when one tile moves, a spot becomes available. The goal is to find that vacant spot before it gets ...

College student says two thumbs up!
I've never reviewed anything on Amazon before, but considering how great this book is, I decided it deserved it. I'm a college junior who has been scouring the many rows of career-related books at her campus library for weeks now as part of my quest to figure out what the best career path for me would be. And after reading (or at least skimming) 30-ish books, this one has proved to be the ...

Great book that cuts through the mystery of resumes.
This book does exactly what it says it will -- gives you an excellent resume overnight. Cuts through the waste found in most resume books and delivers what is needed. No matter who I was I would not hesitate to write my resume with the aid of this book.

Gives you the Tools to go out and Get a job
I did a career workshop with the author, and it was very helpful and inspiring. This was just before Enron and the bursting of the Internet bubble, and he implored us NOT to accept stock option plans because he knew what was coming. When people think of searching for a job, they think of things like the newspaper ads, monster.com and other internet sites, or scanning around the community for ...

Finally, a Book that will Make You Look at Your Career with New Eyes!
This is THE book for people who are "doing their best" job and wondering why they aren't getting promoted. The ten steps Asher spells out may seem intuitive to some, but as a career management coach, I can tell you that so many people don't get it. I now use this book as a "travel guide" for my clients in their journey to move up or move on in their careers.

Helpful advice / Unique Perspective
While Asher's advice and opinion may seem a bit heavy-handed or biased to some, he does provide a unique perspective about the college experience, from admissions all the way to post-graduation. The author went beyond the usual "K.Y.O.O.T." principle (Keep Your Options Open, Tiger) and described some pretty unique individual schools and programs. Most notably, he gives mention to the Robert E. ...
