- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:

"The #1 Statement to Generate the Job Offer"

So what is the very best statement you can make to generate the job offer? Simple. Ask for the job:

"I feel my background and experience are a good fit for this position and I am very interested. I am ready to consider your best offer!"

Want to make it ever stronger? Replace "I am ready to consider your best offer" with:

"I would very much like to work here. May I have the job?"

OK, it may appear a little bold, but it is far and away the #1 way to generate a job offer. Hands down.

The prerequisites of using this approach are threefold:

1. You have already sold them on you as a candidate
2. They have already sold you on working for them (and hopefully it shows in your passion and enthusiasm for the job)
3. You are talking to the person who makes the hiring decision

OK, hold on, you might be saying. I can see having the first two, but how do I know who makes the hiring decision?

Simple. Ask. "Who will be making the hiring decision for this position?" Ask HR, ask the managers, ask a peer level. Any of them can tell you. You just need to ask.

Then meet with that person last and tell them you want the job. Make life easy for them. If they're sitting on the fence, this may bring them over to your side.

This is not the time to be shy. If you want to get married, you have to pop the question! And no one says they are the only ones who can ask the question. This book is about breaking the rules in a good way. And this is one of the best ways to break the rules and generate a job offer.

- Job Search Book Online

There are at least two other entry level Web sites that offer books on job searching, proclaming that they will tell you everything you need to know about entry level job search.

However, there is a very important point about these books they don't mention up front: they cost money.

At CollegeGrad.com, we give you two things they don't:

    1. The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").
    2. It's free.

It's that simple. So don't buy the hype. Read the real information you need for FREE:

Don't ever pay for books or reports or resources of lower quality when you can access the very best quality information for free.

P.S. Yes, you can buy "College Grad Job Hunter" in hardcopy format as well at Amazon.com for $15 (actually, 30% off that price), but the online version is better. Why? Because the version at Amazon.com (the 2003 edition) is being continually updated at CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is actually the online, free version.
