5.0 out of 5 stars A Jobseeker's 101 16 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a jobseeker's 101 that takes you from preparation for the job hunt through to a job offer. As one of many unemployed graduates, I've found the whole job-hunting process very tough and frustrating, but Denise breaks the process down and goes through it very logically. It's a bit like having a buddy to guide you through!

The book is simple and easy to read, while also being comprehensive, and gave me a few gems of information that I hadn't found in hours of trawling the internet. It's left me a lot more focussed and knowledgeable on what I need to do to get ahead.
