Disclosure: I’m a big fan of Heather Huhman’s work to connect people to the entry level job arena. I received a free e-copy of this book and this is the review of that book.

Let’s be honest: there are a million job search tools and guides out there for new grads and those looking to break into the entry level job market. I’ve read a lot, found some of these valuable and recommend even fewer. #ENTRYLEVELtweet is one that I highly recommend for a lot of reasons.

• It’s short. We all have a lot going on and professional development is something that often gets put off. However, I finished this “book” in around a half hour and found the information to be clear, concise and directly applicable to my own career. If you’re looking to get a ton of advice in a short read, this is your book.
• It gives actionable advice. Career advice is something a lot of people can give (me inlcluded), but when I read anything, I look for actionable advice. I want to read stuff that makes me want to jump out of my seat and go get something done. This book is actionable, even though the advice is in 140 characters or less.
• It’s comprehensive. Along with the book being short, it gives you a holistic perspective on the entire job application process. Normally, these books lose me by the second chapter, but because everything in here made sense, I was able to think about my own career. Also, I am in the process of using the book as a checklist for my “career toolbox” and I am finding new ways to prepare for my career.
• It’s personal. Perhaps this is my favorite reason why I enjoyed the book. A lot of books are like cheerleaders pumping you up to join the corporate world and get lost on the way. #EntrylevelTweet focuses on the reader and encourages you to walk along your own path.

As a quick preview, here’s my favorite tweet on rejecting a job offer: “State that you did not come by this decision lightly and mention a couple of specific reasons for saying “no” if pressed.” Even in a book written in 140 character segments, it’s a guide that covers everything, and I mean everything, related to job searching, starting your job and everything in between.

The book can be purchased on Amazon or on Happy About (the publisher) for less than $20, and I guarantee you’ll use it as a reference during your own job search.
