After dozens of cover letters, after all the different versions of my resume, after all the Craigslist hunting, I actually got a job. I've been looking for 5 months.
In my desperation, I got cheesy. I went to the library, found out what color my parachute was, checked out all the career books. They gave me hope.
How I finally got my job was through a staffing agency. But these books gave me the knowledge to hone in my search and do it right...after doing it wrong for a long time.
The Overnight Resume: Great tips on getting your resume to look better than everyone else's.
The Six Reasons You'll Get the Job: A great book to help you view yourself from the employer's eye.
The Next-Day Job Interview: I felt so much more confident in the interview after reviewing this book not just the night before, but for three days. I felt like a rock star and hence rocked the interview.
The best part was returning them all to the library after I didn't need them anymore.
