Format:Paperback
I have to say, especially having read the reviews before purchasing, I was pretty disappointed with this book. Unless you're a first year student looking to get an internship/work placement, I wouldn't bother with it. It states the obvious, and then even repeats the obvious, as if you didn't comprehend it first time round. Every piece of advice in this book will be provided by your careers advisor at any good university, and what's more, can be found by simply looking on sites like targetjobs/guardian jobs. Not one piece of information within stood out for me, and for the most part it was stuff I consider blindingly obvious as a 3rd year student who has attended a few, but not many, graduate career minded lectures held on campus. Disappointed, but as I said, perhaps useful to those who are truly new to the concept of graduate employment (e.g. someone just about to commence their university studies).

There's no shortage of self-help guides to the perils and eventual pleasures of graduate job hunting: during my career in the field I have encouraged countless students to reach for these props, despite their predictability: but to borrow the words of the soft drinks commercial, here's a new guide with a refreshingly different flavor!
In a guide that is clearly written and very well structured, the author goes far beyond the usual `how to write a CV and letter of application' approach by discussing a broad range of current issues, from underemployment and misleading statistics to the need for completely new application strategies.
By contrasting the traditional advice given during years BC - before the crunch - with the need to prepare for the changing realities of future job hunting in years AD - after the downturn - Paul Redmond suggests that guidance must change: he has a point.

Despite its title there's nothing formulaic about Paul Redmond's Graduate Jobs Formula. Straight to the point advice - no nonsense or jargon - and witty too. Every parent should buy this book for their student offspring now! Then try and get them to read it. They'll need all the help they can get.
