Reviews for The Job Hunting Book

"""The world of work is undergoing seismic changes as a result of a global pandemic, financial crises, and advancing technologies. With this context, Ian Allan mentors graduates through the job hunt in this straight-talking and practical book. I like how he filters his advice through the experiences of two fictitious characters, Alex the job hunter and Lou the hirer. The book is well-structured and easy to read in four main parts built around a pyramid with stages from research to application. The focus is on relationships and building your presence or personal brand as the foundation for engagement. The style places ownership on you, both empowering and challenging you to do the hard work involved in the job hunt. It's an effective mix of 'how tos' with supporting resources via a website. Because the author's experience is from Australia, there are one or two cultural differences from the UK, but they don't detract from the helpfulness of the book. Overall, this is an up-to-date resource that graduate job hunters will find very useful."" - David Shindler, Career and Performance Coach, Author of 'Learning to Leap'"
