Land The Tech Job You Love - Short Review
When it comes to progressing your technical career there are (IMHO) three main pillars, continuing your technical advancement, networking (with other people, not just wires) and building up your online presence. Land The Tech Job You Love covers all these critical points and expands the other parts of the job seeking process - researching the company, preparing for the interview and how to answer the more ambiguous questions that often come up.

The book is well written and has lots of action points that can help you along the way. I don't think I'd follow all the advice as given, some of it seems very American, but the book does raise a lot of points you should at least be aware of during your job hunt.

Score - 6/10
