Relevant and useful career advice Oct 15, 2007
By Levelhead
After reading this book, I have to thank Shawn Graham for his practical and novel approach to finding the perfect career. I have found that building great relationships is a major key to creating fulfillment and success. Mr. Graham builds upon this idea by relating the job search/career preparation process to the world of "courtship."
I believe current students, recent graduates, and those already many years into their careers will benefit from reading this book. The networking section (ice breakers, introduction seduction) alone is worth the price of the book.
If you or someone you know could use help finding a soul-mate (read "career-mate" in this case), do them a favor and send them this book.

Fresh and Fun Job Search Oct 09, 2007
By Unviersity of Cincinnati Career Advisor
Courting Your Career addresses the job search in a way that is fresh and fun with a topic that most young men and women can relate to. The information is easy to read and fits so many stages of the job search campaign that this is a book that will be able to be referenced again and again throughout the reader's life.

 A Clever and Substantial Approach to the Job Dating Game! Nov 15, 2007
By Grady Harp
Shawn Graham knows his territory: his 'regular job' is with a Career Management Center in North Carolina. Having had extensive experience counseling college students on the successful ways to career life after college has resulted in this very entertaining and useful guide COURTING YOUR CAREER: Match Yourself with the Perfect Job.
Graham uses the helpful analogy of thinking about career options, making decisions by elimination procedures as to what job market is most compatible with the candidate, and then goes about the steps in approaching the desired career by using the same kind of information and etiquette and presentation that maximizes effects in successful dating and partnering! It may sound simplistic when condensed in a review, but Graham is a shrewd and perceptive guide, giving solid examples of how to manage every step of the job search (and research!), the interview, and the final negotiations that result in making the right choices for the perfect job. And if this 'personal dating' analogy seems a bit like 'Job Hunting for Dummies', then this smart book is probably meant for you. Graham carefully draws attention to the many steps and pitfalls, sound advice and encouragement, and even check lists for accomplishing goals. It is a tightly written, very useful manual that may be aimed at the young graduate, but it is also a fine tool for people of any age who have decided to re-enter the job force or make a career change. Don't be put off by the Magritte-like cover: this is a learned, accessible manual! Grady Harp, November 07

Great Book Nov 12, 2007
By Madam Book
"lovebooks"
Really great book! Makes some excellent points, and does a good and somewhat funny job of connecting the job search to one's dating life - makes sense, and is really helpful. really helps to rationalize the job search and relate it to something easy that people do in everyday life.
highly recommend it!

From chore to score Nov 27, 2007
By Grey MBA
As an MBA student, I've had to quickly figure out how to find and land that perfect gig. Courting Your Career helped me get up to speed on how to best position myself to prospective companies while also covering everything I needed to know about interviewing. The dating metaphor helped drive the advice home and made a tedious process a lot more fun. I would definitely recommend this book.
