- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:
"The We All Have to Eat Technique"
Manager still claims they have no time to meet with you? Try this:
"I realize that you are a busy person and your time is limited. Yet we all take time for lunch. I would like to make you an offer. I would be happy to treat you to lunch at the restaurant or cafe of your choice, if you will just take the time to listen to my background while you're eating. All I ask of you is that you keep your ears open. Fair enough?"
If lunch doesn't work, offer breakfast. When your offer is accepted, either order light or not at all--use your time to sell the manager on you. It will be the "cheapest" meal you will ever buy since your new contact will feel a personal obligation to assist you, either directly or indirectly.

- 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.
