Summary: This book is a great supplement
Comment: If you are looking for career solutions for a career that will be fulfilling, rewarding, and exciting as well as something you will be proud doing, you may want to use this book just a supplement.
If you are looking for a book that will be a good resume writing tool, then this book is for you. A resume is important, but what is more important is finding a job or better yet, a career that you can be proud of.
In addition, to this book I would, I would suggest that that you invest in two other career books instead both of which, genuinely offer new insights into the job hunting and career success. They are "How to Find Your Dream Job and Make It a Reality: Solutions for a Meaningful and Rewarding Career" by Jason McClure, and "10 Insider Secrets To Job Hunting Success! Everything You Need To Get The Job You Want In 24 Hours -- Or Less! " by Todd Bermont.
"How to Find Your Dream Job" in my opinion is one of the best career book ever written in my (It is, according to the experts, in the top 10), in this book Jason takes the seemingly complex and makes it simple and doable for you, the reader. This new book is destined to become, the standard on the subject? In other words, if you are serious about having a great life and job, and you are unwilling to put up with less than you deserve you must read this book, today.
"10 Insider Secrets" by Todd Bermont gives the reader true insider tips
into job-hunting success. This book is a good job-hunting book, but only if you know exactly what job you are looking for. These other two books are great books.
I agree this book will help with help you craft a resume. However, if you are trying to find your dream job and make it a reality, move beyond this book and invest in yourself by reading "How to find your dream job". If you still want to read, "Knock 'em dead" that's fine that's fine as long you use for what it is designed for, and that's to be a resume reference, and not for career solutions.

Summary: If You Are Searching For A Job You Love, Skip This Book
Comment: If you are not of the corporate cloth, or one who feels that you MUST shoehorn yourself into a job that you will have to contort yourself into doing day after day after day, I would not recommend this book.
This book's method of sending out countless resumes, looking at newspaper want ads and telephone book listings is a pointless waste of time. It is a method that is a surefire way to have your countless resumes you sent out to be thrown right into the trash and land you a job you can have at best, a cordial hatred of doing.
I really disliked the author's overall tone in that if you were looking for a job, or god forbid, didn't have one, then you were a miserable expletive that only deserved a job if you pulled yourself up by your own bootstraps. At one point in this book, the author suggests that if you went to the library to get information in searching for a job, then you didn't even deserve to drive your car to the library, and that you should consider walking.
I think that this book is a degrading waste of time to read, and has a much better use as fuel for a fire in a fireplace. Once you've used it this way, you'll never have to look at this book ever again.
Rating: 5
Summary: Best job search book in the world.
Comment: Using the advice in Knock 'Em Dead, I have gotten jobs that I would've otherwise had no business getting! The first time that I used his book I got a job where I was the least experienced, the least qualified of all the candidates. But, I had the best presentation of all the candidates. So, just like Mr.Yate promised, it's not the best qualified candidate that gets the job, it's the candidate with the best interviewing skills that wins the day.
