Job search during this tough economy is a huge challenge, but there are many tips and tricks that are available for effective job search. Recently in CNN there was an article about creative job search methods. But, you will need lot of courage to implement those methods. If you organize your job search in right way and know what to expect, very certainly you can get an interview call. But, after getting interview, you have to be at your very best to get the job.

There are many students looking for job and many companies have laid of so many employees. So, number of applications submitted for a position will be huge. If you want your job search to be effective, you need to know what pro’s know about job search. There is 2 ways to learn what experienced people knew about finding jobs and also how they mastered the art of job search.

  1. Learn from your job search experience
  2. Learn Job Search ideas from job search experts

You can always lean the tips and tricks of job search by spending time and trying out which resume works and  job search websites work. But, there is many disadvantage with this approach. With only 90 days to find a job after graduation, if you recently graduated and just starting to look for job, then it wont take long before to figure out, 90 days is not enough to find a job.

Learn Job Search Tricks from Pro’s

I have said in previous articles about average time it takes to find a job. If you want to avoid such lengthy time frames, then you better start planning and  preparing for job search. So, the there are many books and websites that give job search ideas, but one book I have been following Knock ‘em Dead 2009: The Ultimate Job Search Guide (Knock ‘em Dead) is very unique and packed with creative information.

Best Job Search Book

My ex- manager gave me some important tips and what to look for in a candidate while interviewing. I happened to read the same tips in Knock ‘em Dead 2009: The Ultimate Job Search Guide (Knock ‘em Dead). But there is one specific tip will help you control the interview  and you will need to have capacity and talent, but above that you need some other skills that will help you get the job. So, if you want to know that secret tip, then you should definitely invest $10 to buy the book.

I have been recommending this book to many students and it also includes frequently asked interview questions and what answer is expected with examples. Foer example,  Tell me about yourself? question is usually the first questions asked during the interview. You cannot find a better creative answer than one listed in the book.
