A job-search manual that gives career seekers a systematic, tech-savvy formula to efficiently and effectively target potential employers and secure the essential first interview.The 2-Hour Job Search shows job-seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. Through a prescriptive approach, Dalton explains how to wade through the Internet’s sea of information and create a job-search system that relies on mainstream technology such as Excel, Google, LinkedIn, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview—with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like “leverage your contacts,” Dalton tells job-hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. This empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps readers bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.

I purchased and read the entirety of this book after being unemployed for about 3 months and beginning to feel overwhelmed and discouraged by how much time and effort my job search was taking. I would attend networking events, write emails, apply to jobs and build my online brand simultaneously and I began to feel burned out. I was getting interviews, but each day I would wake up unclear of how I could spend my time most efficiently. This book was easy to read and provided much needed structure to my disparate job search. Based on the principles in the book I now wake up each day knowing who I need to contact and when I should start to engage a new company.The Good: Steve does a great job addressing the types of questions I would ask such as "What if my contact warns me in advance the company is not hiring" and "What if my contact has less experience than I do or is much younger". There is solid and practical advice for when things go awry and most importantly a game plan for letting go of a contact or company that isn't producing.The Bad: The process absolutely takes more than 2 hours. I would say it takes more like two days to initially get your list of companies assembled, sorted and the first round of contacts made. Finding contact details alone for 6 companies can take over an hour. I appreciate the assembly line approach to identifying companies and individuals, but often times I would later have to go back and adjust rankings because the alum was not really going to be a useful alum or a job posting in Marketing for example wasn't really Marketing once I read the posting after identifying them as a top company.I also find the scripts helpful only as a starting point. The TIARA approach to structuring an informational interview is a lot to fit into 30 minutes and comes off as very robotic instead of having a question or two and really letting the conversation flow. My favorite book is "The 20 Minute Networking Meeting" by Ballinger & Perez which lays out a better framework for conducting an informational meeting or call and is less calculating with the follow ups. As someone who is informationally interviewed I would respond much better to the approaches and follow-ups that were more genuine.Lastly, this book relies solely on the kindness of your contact to get you in the door. I have missed a number of opportunities because the position gets filled in the 7+ day timespan it takes to potentially get just one informational interview, though the author advocates not applying until you get your contact to internally push for you.In conclusion, like many readers I found this book helpful with some tweaking. I am happy with my purchase of this book and agree it offers a great structure and confidence boost to any job search if you are willing to sit down and modify the approach to fit real world circumstances. I would advocate, like others have, to continue applying for roles and networking via conventional means in conjunction with this approach.
