Reader Reviews
Being a careers/workplace author myself, I sometimes find it difficult to endorse new books, especially since the market is already glutted with them. However, Tony Beshara's book, The Job Search Solution, deserves special attention for finding something new and important to say about the job market today. Beshara doesn't load the reader with useful but obvious suggestions ("don't forget to wear a nice suit to your interview," for example). Instead, he deliberately challenges conventional job search wisdom, and in so doing, offers radical but inspired suggestions for success. Chapter Six: "Common Myths and the Realities About Hiring" is a perfect example of Beshara's unique vision. Think that "companies approach hiring with common sense, logic, and good business acumen and consistency?" Think that "the most qualified candidate gets the job?" Think again! Time and again Beshara proves that finding a job is a highly subjective business filled with innumerable variables. The triumphant jobseeker is the one who not only recognizes these inconsistencies and but also uses them to his advantage. Not sure how to do this? Don't worry-Beshara guides the way. Also worthy of notice: Chapter 12: Overcoming Employer Biases that Can Keep You from Getting a Job. Here, Beshara tackles such tricky items as age discrimination and what to say if you've been out of the workforce for an extended period. Overall, a Grade A read.
