Format:Paperback
This book is so well written it is hard to put it down. Mr Manahan's style is engaging and entertaining, and so easy to read. It feels less like reading a book and more like being coached by an expert. The content is clearly laid out and covers every aspect normally found in CV books, however, the attention to detail and thoroughness of approach goes far beyond anything I have read before.
The most important aspect of this book is that it teaches you how to examine your own skills and experience, and communicate them in a fresh and appropriate way. It gets you into the head of the person who is likely to be reading your CV. I have put much work into my CV over the past few years, and with the help of this book I have completely reorganised and rewritten it. I am delighted with the improvement.
In summary this book is essential to anyone with a CV - It will make the difference.

I cannot recommend this book too highly, and have literally just spent the last 90 minutes or so reading it from cover-to-cover. The writing style was very easy and to-the-point, and the advice on creating the 'Ultimate CV' was the best I have read - and the most meaningful.
Towards the end of the book, the author writes "Job vacancies arise every day - this is ubiquitously referred to as 'market churn' ... No matter how sick your sector is, no matter how sick the economy is, there are always jobs out there; you just have to find them ... whoever coined the axiom that job-hunting is a full-time job was right on the money."
I have found the current job market extremely difficult to crack and have been looking for work for over six months, having never suffered from such a lengthy period out of work before. This book should be read for several reasons:
1. In view of the challenges that I imagine most of us now face when job searching/career hunting, this book is an indispensible guide to surviving a highly competetive market, which I personally think is unprecedented for someone in their mid-thirties.
2. It refines and improves possibly well-used, and once-reliable tactics in the job search.
3. It focuses your thinking on what the challenges to the employer/recruiters now are and prompts you to consider those in a refreshing 'HELP them to NOTICE you' approach
I have researched techniques and advice a lot over the past few months (and previously) but I would say that this is a book that I will be referring to for a long time.
It is not only a useful guide but an inspiring one; at a time when you feel little more can be said to motivate your job search, this book will succeed.
