Revealing a sensible approach in finding a job, Professor Tim Johnson presents a series of discussion that helps graduates and those who are recently unemployed. The book is divided into two parts: the first part helps the readers to get to know themselves better; the second part provides a lifeline to their first job or their next job. In the set of lectures and exercises, the readers will pick up a fuller understanding of their individuality, who the employer is, and a means to reach their goals. Finding A Job In Tough Times stands as a framework to help its readers embark their way to a fulfilling life.

I'm going to start this review with the things I liked in the book. I liked that its vocabulary was simple as if the author designed the book to be consumed by non-native English speakers as well. It occurred to me that the use of simple words in the book was also meant to give a broader scope on job-hunting and not exclusively on one particular field. I liked that the narration was clear and easy to understand. The order of the exercises was well-placed. The exercises were advantageously directed to build your personality. I liked the content of the short biography of Professor Johnson at the end of the book because it showed the credibility of the author to discuss the subject matter. I also liked that there were blank spaces provided in the book which were necessary for the exercises. What I liked most in the book was that it acted as a crash course, as if you were in school.

I don't think I can enumerate anything I disliked about the book. I loved it. I loved the content. I loved everything about it.

When it comes to grammar, I just found a few errors. There was a sentence where the author confused the word "been" with "being". The author also made a minor typo which I believed was totally fine. Despite the typos and errors, the book still seemed to be professionally edited.

Besides fresh graduates and those who are unemployed or recently unemployed, I recommend this book to those who are still in undergraduate school as well. I think it's important for them to read materials like this to have an idea of what can be the reasons they won't get a job. This may be subjective, but I think the book's subject matter has always been timely relevant. I personally know some people who are having trouble finding a job in spite of their degree and work experience. And I think it's about the lack of character building which the book aids the reader to establish an engaging one.

Overall, I absolutely liked the book. I'm giving it a score of 4 out 4 stars.

I believe this book is timely especially in these times when the economy has dropped so badly in developed countries. One needs to know what to do to get back on his/her feet
