Everyone is moving to Portland (or so it seems), and Mac's book is a valuable key to gaining access to some of the city's most sought after jobs. The writing is crisp and the advice is sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong new resource for the keeping Portland folks satisfied (and weird).
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2016

It seems like I rarely have time to finish a book (to my satisfaction) let alone write a review for one. However, as a courtesy to Messrs. Pritchard and Forstag, I feel compelled to give my brief thoughts:

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for work (not just in Portland) or contemplating a career change. Every city has its unique personality/culture and some of the quirks of PDX are captured, both for newcomers and existing residents.

Not only is each chapter focused and the book progresses in a rational, straightforward fashion, but Mac's words are supplemented by numerous (10+) expert "advice" pieces adding additional voices to the "how-to" narrative, almost like a panel discussion (with great editing).

In my opinion, each chapter contains concise, valuable, snippets of guidance that make the book a worthwhile expense (both in cost and time).

And finally, my last opinion: Apart from the guidance offered and the resources presented, I strongly feel that the book encourages discipline in the job search process. It asks you, or challenges you, to take a look at the complete picture of what you want, who you are, what motivates you, and so on. It reminds you that it takes work to get meaningful work. It kicks you in the butt in a good way to help with an arduous, sometimes overwhelming process.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mac's guide distills well-worn wisdom for job-seekers of all stripes, and is an easy read.
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018
Don't be put off by the title - this consicise guide is broadly applicable to the entire U.S.A.

As with all good advice, there's no magic bullet, no substitute for doing the work, i.e.figuring out what you want, building a professional network, and finding work that fits you values and needs.That can sound intimidating to many folks, but it needn't be. The good news is that it can be tremendous fun. I live in Portland, and recently attended one of Mac's networking events, arriving right behind him. He noticed me and introduced himself, we exchanged business cards, and he gave me really affirming feedback that put me at ease. That's the overall tone of his book- a friendly,encouraging mentor. The only thing he might emphasize more is how much fun networking can be, even if you're somewhat shy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pearls of job-hunting wisdom for Portland
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016

As a new resident of Portland who is searching for work, Mac Prichard’s book has been a font of useful, practical information.

The book explains the ways in which finding a job here is "different." At the same time, it is full of detailed advice on job hunting strategies and tactics that would be effective most anywhere.

My particular focus is on jobs in the “green business” sector. The book has a whole section on that. It identified job boards I had never heard of, local green networking groups, and much more. I thought I had done my research – but this book really took my job hunt to the next level.

So, have I found my dream job in Portland? Not yet! But I am light-years closer to making that happen with the help of this highly readable and up-to-date guide.

Mac's List is a valuable resource for anyone looking for employment in Portland, but the Mac's List book, "Land your Dream Job in Portland (and Beyond) has useful advice for anyone, anywhere. The chapters are short and digestible and the experts offer practical information and helpful tips for your career search. What sets this book apart from others like it are the additional resources found online at the end of each chapter making it a virtual library of valuable information.

I like the fact that it offers practical advice in short bullets, not in long sentences, and it offers a lot of good examples, which makes it a fun read. It's a really good guide and I'm already applying some of the advice in my job hunting.
