I liked this book. It has several methods you can use to try to take the guesswork out of an uncertain situation regarding your career. I especially liked the chapter on how to recognize different types of personalities in job interviews. The author uses quite a bit of local slang. Some of it is not always understandable at first, but it makes sense as you read. A bit of editing might've improved that bit.

I know this guy's trying to be edgy, but as soon as I see profanity I'm ready to ditch the book, no matter how helpful it may be. This book has no place in Safari Books Online.
