If you only have a few dollars to spend on your job search...

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

When I decided I needed a career change, after being in the same company for eight years, and having really no experience with career change, resume writing, job search, etc. -- I was pretty lost. I knew enough to try to find an expert, but which one? Almost every article from WSJ, Forbes, etc. that I came across mentioned Martin Yate, had a quote from him, or alluded to his work. I looked into it further and realized he had a whole job search system, resume writing service, and several books published.

Checked out his Linked In Profile, found some of his videos on YouTube, and was instantly impressed. He had so much insight and good advice around every facet of job search that I just had to give it a try. One thing became clear in my job search - you really need some guidance, some system to follow, if you're going to reach your full potential and find the job you want. I decided to go with Martin's system and was not disappointed.

The book covers every single aspect of the job search, interviews, what to wear, body language, how to handle all of the tough questions and tricky situations you may find yourself in. I read the book twice, cover to cover, took it on the plane to help me prep for the marathon session of interviews at the company I've wanted to work for since I was ten years old. I am starting my new job there on Monday and I have Martin Yate and the Knockemdead philosophy to thank for it. His team created an amazing resume for me, and this book gave me so much confidence to handle all of the stressful situations I was in, from finding an opportunity, presenting myself well, answering tough questions, negotiating the offer, giving notice at my current company... all of it. Even things I never would have thought to consider but am glad I did.

This book gave me the insight and confidence I needed to get exactly the job I wanted, and now I'm about to walk into a whole new life on the other side of the country. I'm not sure I would have ended up in the same place without the skills and knowledge I learned from this book.

So, per the title, if you only have a few dollars to spend on your job search, I don't think you could do much better than this book.

Martin's book is one of the most comprehensive and down to earth guides that really helps navigate the job search landscape in an effective manner. It provides valuable guidance and advise in building a proactive job search that can help land results quickly. I have already received a handful of interviews using is methods. They work and are packed with lots of street smarts. Let's face it, many if not all of us need to develop strong job search skills as we move through our careers and Martin has created a revised plan of attack in this book that is impactful, relevant, and most importantly, effective. I highly recommend it to everyone. After all, you never know when you may need to search for a new opportunity!

Practical, useful and to the point ... not feel-good fluff

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is full of excellent advice; a comprehensive look at all aspects of job search. As a mature job seeker who was out of the game for a long time, this book and the other Knock Em Dead books really helped me up my game so I could be more competitive when looking for a job. This book is loaded with technical information, but was refreshingly accessible so I could stay interested and engaged, (rather than dozing off onto my Kindle) ... I recommend it to anyone who cares more about hearing what they need to hear to succeed rather than feel-good fluff.

Excellent advice given in a straightforward, concise, clear manner. I've read other similar books that are more 'fluff' than substance. This book has solid information and gets right down to business, walking you step by step through the search process in an easy-to-follow format. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for practical guidance and sage advice for their job search.

This book is a must-have for anyone on the job hunt. I consider myself to be pretty savvy when it comes to all aspects of the job search - resume writing, cover letters, interviews, networking, etc...but I haven't hunted for a job in a few years, and I thought this book would provide a nice refresher. What I got was way more than that. Yate provides step-by-step information on how to create a personal professional brand - essentially selling yourself as a product to employers. All aspects of your job search are strategically connected and cohesive if you follow his steps. He also gives excellent advice on how to stand out among the competition. His website and LinkedIn groups also provide additional materials and support. I wish I had this book years ago. It's full of examples and real-world insights. I think it's particularly helpful if you're looking to switch careers or if you're just entering the job market fresh out of university. I also purchased the books on resumes and cover letters - which are full of examples for any industry or situation. And thanks to these books, I've already landed multiple interviews - job coming soon!

All You Need to Find a New Job

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2016

"Knock Em Dead" along with "What Color Is Your Parachute" as the two "classic" job-search books that should be on every job-hunter's bookshelf. "Parchute"s strength is helping you identify your purpose and what type of career is right for you. Whereas, what I like about Knock 'Em Dead is that it focuses on the "nuts and bolts" of actually applying for jobs and getting into conversations with potential employers. "Knock 'Em Dead" is full of practical tips on building a better resume, writing cover letters, researching employers, and them making contact with them. And, of course, it goes over the interview and negotiation process as well. But the true value of Mr. Yate's book is that he pounds the message repeatedly to find ways to get into conversations with potential employers, and provides numerous creative ways to do just that. This book is a must-have for anyone serious about looking for a new job.

I took out one of Martin Yate's books from my local library and loved it. I love it so much that I came here and bought 4 of his books. Each has been so helpful in getting my resume back on track. They have become my go-to books for helping not only find my next role, but start actually planning a career that I can grow with. I highly recommend any of his books, but I love all the details he covers in this one (I read it in one night!). A must read if you are looking to grown your career or find your next job.

I have purchased Martin's book in order to help me the right job, because I hadn't been successful on my own. I am not quite through the book but it has already helped me to focus on the important things, to amend my resume and to make a few changes that, I am sure of, will lead to finding my dream job.
I have purchased a couple more Martin's books since and I will recommend them to my friends and colleagues. I had felt lost before I have purchased these books but now I feel I am heading in the right direction in my professional life.

When I was moving to Canada, I was concerned about my job search strategy. I picked up the 2014 edition of this book in a library, and after the first few pages, I knew straight away the value of the message in there. I purchased the 2014 edition, applied it's principles, and got 3 job offers in 2 weeks. I decided to purchase the 2016 edition to keep myself updated. A must read for anyone stuck or concerned about finding work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Martin Yate.
