This book landed me my dream job before my senior year of uni even ended, so I am very indebted. It was incredibly helpful - I went from from feeling clueless to confident in how I approached potential employers. Only criticism I have is that this book is definitely aimed towards individuals in business, and neglects those looking for a career in STEM or elsewhere.

Everyone stuck in a job search rut should read this. Clear explanations and frameworks for finding your top employers and how to network effectively. A fast read that is packed with helpful tidbits. 10/10.

There's a lot to be said for laying out concrete actions and strategies for approaching the modern job search, and 2HJS does exactly that. This book has given me a lot of tools and confidence in my job search, so here's to hoping it all pans out!

It's Sabbath again, which means I'm forcing myself not to do anything for the sake of productivity. It's a horrible discipline, especially as I'm about to immigrate to the U.S. and need to find a job there ASAP. I make plans ABCDE in my head and what ifs if I can't land a job right away and I can't do anything on these particular days to control my outcome. Horrible discipline.
But right, this book is great. It takes all the guessing game away and doesn't get you to answer self-reflective questions like other self-help books often do. It's a control freak's approach to systematize the job search process in a way that leaves no sunk-costs behind. Each chapter follows basically the same format. He
a) tells you an overview of what to do
b) explains why you're doing it this way
c) gives you VERY specific steps on how to do it.
There's 0 advice in Dalton's methods, and there's really not a lot of ways to customize it, which is why I'm such a fan. Honestly would recommend it to anyone who's paralyzed by the idea of job searching; this book takes out all of the guessing game and is all about compound-reiteration until you land a job. Honestly would not recommend Sabbath to anyone though as it's a horrible discipline.

This brief books is a well-reasoned step-by-step guide to getting a job in the current world of online applications. What I like most about this system is that it helps those of us who aren't the strongest at networking move through the process of meeting people and leaving a positive impression. It also enables task-oriented job seekers to feel like they are accomplishing something each day, which can be challenging in the anxiety of the job search.

Extremely helpful. An alternative, more effective and proactive approach to the job search process. It takes longer to read this book than to implement the technique, which is a testament to the strategy. Highly recommend to anyone who's employed.

Found a job, so I no longer needed it : )
Thought it was good, though!
