Dear Mr. Beshara,
I'd like to thank you very much for your book "The Job Search Solution" - I followed your guidelines and within 3 weeks of intensive work, I landed a very exciting position with a start up compnay in the silicon valley - doing what I like most - working in the field of music and technology.
A software manager by trade, I took your methodology to the letter and within days I had multiple phone screens, which led to series of interviews with multiple companies and finally a job offer. Your book provided critical information about the hiring process as a whole, from cover letters, to phone screens, to face to face interviews, to closing the deal. One hiring manager at HP commented: "I had to call you simply to find out who is the guy who has the guts to end his cover letter with 'read my resume and interview me this week!'."
I know that the market is pretty hot right now in the silicon valley, but I have no doubt that your method was critical for my success in landing the right job - The company I work for had 6 candidates for my position - my attitude, style, experience and your book made the difference.

I have known Tony for several years and his method to recruiting and landing a job has not wavered and this insight is reflected in his book. The priority is landing the interview. He stresses how in the interview you have to creatively break though to sell how you fit not just the position but more importantly what the hiring manager perceives he wants for this position. He not only makes this abundantly clear but provides the practical tools that guide you through each step of the process.
He also provides valuable insight on the emotional aspects of the job search. And in today's job market being prepared and overcoming the inevitable frustration of the process can make all the difference. |

Simply put, this is the best 3 to 4 hour investment you can make in a job search, or if you thinking about a job change. The book is filled with strategic insight, but more importantly Tony explains in clear and concise fashion how to put the strategy into action.
The major thesis is that the job search is a process, and while there are many things you can't control, you can control your process and execute on your strategy to maximize your probability for a positive outcome, and more importantly, minimize the timeline to do it.
Another key element to this book is a candid discussion on the emotional and psychological aspects which is a must read at least twice, and pass it along to your spouse. This section will bring validation to your feelings, and then you can earn the right to advance to Chapter Two and Take Massive Action Now.
Tony also addresses (in Chaper 7) benefits of Practical Spirituality. I personally encourage everyone to put this into practice, even if your not in job search mode.
I review this work often, when drafting cover letter, thank you notes, etc. becasue after you have studied it and internalized, it becomes an excellent reference. My mantra has become, Take massive action, now and make a difference.
My final comment is that I recommended this book to a friend of mine and told him that if he did not think this book had value, I would personally write him a check for one hundred dollars and take him to dinner. I still have the check, safe in the checkbook and he bought me dinner because of the focus the book brought to his search effort. |

I am always looking for books to recommend to my candidates, so they are better prepared, not just for interviewing, but for dealing with the whole search process they often find so baffling and ego-deflating. Managing the emotional process on the candidate side of the search equation is one of the toughest parts of being a good recruiter. For the company, hiring is purely a business decision. For the prospective employee, changing jobs is a business AND personal decision affecting not only one's livelihood, but often family happiness, location, marriage success or failure! Tony Beshara's book is at the top of my recommendation list. I read once that a candidate's stress level increases 200% from initial job inquiry to offer time. Tony's book unveils those mysteries of the hiring process that cause so much of the prospective employee's emotion - emotion which, if not handled properly, often results in offers that could have been, but don't materialize. Most candidates do not realize that they must adopt the same axiom in their job search that makes them successful at their jobs- "Plan your work, and work your plan". This easy read gives the candidate a workable, proven plan for finding the right opportunity. I disagree with the reviewer who thought the book simply promotes the use of recruiters. I believe if more candidates read this book, they might not need us nearly as much! |

Being a careers/workplace author myself, I sometimes find it difficult to endorse new books, especially since the market is already glutted with them. However, Tony Beshara's book, The Job Search Solution, deserves special attention for finding something new and important to say about the job market today. Beshara doesn't load the reader with useful but obvious suggestions ("don't forget to wear a nice suit to your interview," for example). Instead, he deliberately challenges conventional job search wisdom, and in so doing, offers radical but inspired suggestions for success. Chapter Six: "Common Myths and the Realities About Hiring" is a perfect example of Beshara's unique vision. Think that "companies approach hiring with common sense, logic, and good business acumen and consistency?" Think that "the most qualified candidate gets the job?" Think again! Time and again Beshara proves that finding a job is a highly subjective business filled with innumerable variables. The triumphant jobseeker is the one who not only recognizes these inconsistencies and but also uses them to his advantage. Not sure how to do this? Don't worry - Beshara guides the way.
Also worthy of notice: Chapter 12: Overcoming Employer Biases that Can Keep You from Getting a Job. Here, Beshara tackles such tricky items as age discrimination and what to say if you've been out of the workforce for an extended period.
Overall, a Grade A read.

I was amazed at the details covered in this book. It told me exactly what I needed to know and do to make this job search as swift and successful as possible. I disagree with the reviewer that says Tony is just plugging recruiters. He OBVIOUSLY didn't read the book. There is so much material here to use that I go back to the book as a reference every step of the way. From resumes to family to interviews to the spiritual sanity of it all. I am using this book, breaking the spine, using a highlighter, and taking tons of notes because Tony Beshara is an expert. That much is clear. |
