- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:
"The Multiple Interview Technique"
If you have one interview and would like to quickly generate more, simply become a name dropper. Mention the name of the company you are interviewing with as you are attempting to set up additional interviews. Most employers have a strong herd instinct that guides them in deciding who to interview. "Oh, you're interviewing with XYZ? Let me see what I can work into my schedule." It is amazing how quickly the schedule will open up for someone who is already being interviewed, especially if the interview is with a competitor.
So when you get an interview lined up, do not single thread that process through to completion before pursuing others. You are in the very best position to set up multiple interviews immediately after the first is set up. Make the most of this opportunity.

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.
