Customer Rating: 

I am an executive recruiter plus I speak at a lot of Career Ministries in the Atlanta area. I get contacted daily by job seekers who, unfortunately, I can't help. The reason - they either are not in my niche or I don't have an opening with a client that is appropriate at the time.

I recommend two resources to each person I can't help and Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0 is one of those resources.

What does NOT work very well in this economy for finding your next job is sitting in front of the computer firing off resume after resume on-line to advertised jobs.

That is WHY you NEED Guerrilla - the concepts in this book will help you BE DIFFERENT which means you increase your probability of being hired dramatically. If you get hired just one day earlier by applying the concepts in this book, you have saved yourself hundreds of dollars by being able to get a paycheck sooner rather than later.

This book is NOT a COST; it is an INVESTMENT!

Even though I was feeling a little intimidated by the title of book, I decided that after being unemployed for 14 months and not getting any results hiding behind the computer screen, I had nothing to loose. As an introvert I could continue banging my head against the wall or try something different for a change. I found that the most beneficial part of the book was the suggested warm approach for cold calling. Some of the ideas or concepts introduced are extreme, but so is the marketplace. We do have to step out of our comfort zones, if we really want to get to where we want to be. I have read literally everything I could get my hands on to revamp my job search strategy, but this book was the most beneficial.

I actually had sought out this book (which was reserved and couldn't be taken out of the library) after seeing David Perry speak at a job search group meeting. When I starting leafing through the book, I realized that there was too much information in this book for me to keep coming into the library to copy down a page or two for something to try in my job search. I needed a copy right by the computer to use to try some of the tools that I would read about. Although I was on LinkedIn and thought I was using many of the tools available, I found I was quite wrong. I found this book to be very inspirational in its approach, what I needed to get my act together and how to organize a proper job search strategy. There is advice, in the form of scripts, for many different situations when making contacts with potential employers. It is a metaphorical Swiss-Army knife for the job seeker, something that you should not be without.

I've recently purchased and read over a dozen how-to-get-a-job type books and on average was able to pull 2-3 nuggets from each to implement. Not so with this book. It is chock full of resources, links, and tips and tricks. I found the technology advice very useful and the whole book gave me more creative ideas. I highly recommend this book for any professional even if they are currently employed because your network and "kit" need to be ready.

This book takes the job hunting process from start to finish with a clear detailed road map. I had read multiple other books but GMFJH 2.0 clarified and simplified everything and has great instructions and examples. It also explains the confusing internet networking world and how to navigate it for immediate success. This book is worth every cent!
