 Inside Knowledge Jan 22, 2006
By John Kador
You may be lucky enough, if you have the bad luck to be a downsized executive, that your last employer will see fit to plunk down $10,000 so that the author of this book will coach you to get a new job. If not, your best bet is to plunk down $21.95 and buy this book. You won't get the hand-holding or on-call career consulting, but you'll get just about everything else an insider with the world's biggest executive outplacement firm has learned about the brutal facts of landing the next job. Orville Pierson tells it like it is. He treats the reader like he would a member of his family who comes to him for advice. It's a guide that covers all the basics, sure, but what really sets the book apart is the no-nonsense advice required to score a new job. The Pierson Method, as he terms the collection of his dos and donts, is a proven roadmap for unemployed people. Yes, it can be a lonely and scary journey. What I like the most is that Pierson acknowledges that the biggest obstacles aren't out there in the woods. They are inside us. In our minds. The important thing is not to act like a victim. The case histories he provides give us the confidence to move forward in trying times, and that's all anyone of us can aim for.

Getting unstuck. Jul 16, 2006
By Redlip
So many books on job search are about writing resumes, getting interviews, selling oneself, etc. Pierson's book has sound advice on the basics of job search, but he starts at the beginning, that first step: how to start. For anyone who is at a crossroads, either because of a lost job or a need for a change, The Unwritten Rules will help you take that first step towards getting the job you want. You know, the one you can't even define for yourself? Pierson uses real conversations and a casual style to help the reader succeed at small tasks which bring one closer to one's ultimate goal: employment. Very useful!

Buy This Book! Jun 14, 2006
By Mariah McTavish
You will find that this is the book that has been missing from the top seller's list on how to get ready, get moving and manage your job search. With a great deal of insight and with a whole lot of common sense, along with a sound grasp of what it takes to find a job, Pierson's book is invaluable to job seekers. It is sound advice and helpful tips from the man who can demystify the job search for anyone. For example, he reminds us that to increase your odds in job search, a Target List is crucial. In the Pierson Method, this Target List is a key tool in job search - just as important as your resume - because it focuses on a group of organizations you might want to work for and hire people for the kind of work you want to do. He reminds us that the Target List also helps you see exactly who your resume is designed for before you sit down to write. And, in 10 pages he gives us the strategies for pulling together a Target List that is proven to work!
Don't want to work the Pierson Method alone? Check out the special bonus section on how to Team Up for a Successful Search which outlines how to use a Job Search Work Team to work with others or to set up a program to work with others. Don't conduct your next job search without reading this book first!

The system in this book really works! Aug 14, 2006
By C. Romero
I bought this book in May as I was finishing up the coursework towards my MA. I knew I would need to find a new job, but since I was changing career fields, I realized that I might need a different approach than before to find one.
I read the book and the system outlined made intuitive sense to me. I also really identified with the emotional quality of the book. Although the system in this book is not easy, it is very effective. I have found the job I was searching for and it is a perfect match for my skills and education. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for not just their next job, but for the job of their dreams.

Unwritten Rules of Highly Effective Job Search Feb 22, 2006
By D. Haddad
As a practicing psychologist I have found this book very useful for helping clients organize a job search. The Pierson Method is well written and pragmatic. There are many books that show how to write a resume, but Pierson tells the inside story of how organizations really do their hiring and shows how job seekers can align their efforts to the reality of what works.
