Oh, my apologies, I thought the conclusion of the article was pretty unambiguous: it ends with 3 paragraphs under a sub-heading of "Less applying, more networking".
Or did you draw some other conclusion from the article? "Perhaps you could actually tell HN readers" what that alternative conclusion was? :)
- mdorazio 10y agoBased on a skim of Bolles's book, he actually comes to significantly broader conclusions than this article. For example, I believe a significant chunk of the book is about determining what you actually want to do before even looking for a job. Another chunk of the book is about how to make a resume that employers will look at and actually like. Another is about how looking for a job should itself be a full-time job and how you should basically be applying everywhere, networking non-stop, knocking on doors, etc. Another part is about negotiating salary. Etc. I have to disagree that Bolles entirely agrees with the conclusion of the article - he takes a more holistic view of jobhunting.
