chock-a-block with bullet points and tips / a best-hits collection of advice...culled from his 40 years of career guidance.
Tali Arbel, Watercooler Columnist, Associated Press

Bolles short, sharp tome offers triage to those job seekers who may be either flummoxed with the economy or paralyzed by indecisiveness or lack of a clear path. ...his folksy, familiar style and presentation are an effective tonic for jittery nerves and chronic brain freeze. Its pretty ballsy for an author to produce something that might cannibalize sales of his other books, but this disruptive act of creative destruction is actually a brilliant stroke by Bolles and could provide just the gentle push needed by many.
Richard Pachter, Miami Herald
