Summary: A near "must-read" for MBA students seeking employment
Comment: Job- or internship-seeking MBA students should first, of course, take advantage of the many resources available from their business school's career center, and also any alumni career services offered by their undergraduate school. An outstanding book to augment these services, however, is Nail the Job.

Written in a hip style that should appeal to Gen X MBA students, the book is a collection of articles from MBA Jungle and JD Jungle magazines. It doesn't read like a collection, however, but as a complete, step-by-step introduction to today's MBA student job search.

I have only one criticism. Chapter 7 on "headhunters" is confusing. Though it's clearly describing contingency search firms, it doesn't clarify this point - or identify and describe the distinction between retained search and contingency search. In a sense, this is a minor criticism given the book's primary audience - search firms, retained or contingency, are rarely of help to MBA students, particularly those attending full-time. Why should an organization looking to hire new MBAs pay a search fee of any type when it probably already has an internal group to recruit MBA students?

Current MBA students reading this review - please don't let the last paragraph pointing out one area of weakness stop you from picking up and going through this book, and implementing its suggestions. Nail the Job is written for you and your needs, and it is very good!

Good luck in your job search!
