Recommended
I think this is a very good book;
it covers all the relevant aspects of
completing application forms or writing
letters (with a stronger focus on application forms though I would say).

I particularly liked the 'points to remember' and 'dos and don'ts'
at the end of each chapter - great for people with little time.

When you get to the interview stage, I can also recommend Great answers to tough interviews questions by Martin John Yate.

VERY POOR
I was looking forward to getting this book as I am currently looking for a job and desperately needed some help. After reading a few chapter i soon realised this book is a joke. All the information provided is commonsense. There are no real examples on how to answer questions, just theory! Don't buy this book unless you have got money to waste as you will be disappointed.
