A Job Hunting Classic: Very Strong on Search Techniques

This is a pre-Internet book, but also a classic in the job hunting field, giving generally good advice on most aspects of the job search process in a thoughtful, organized manner. Includes career decision making, resumes, interviewing, search techniques and salary negotiations, but does not include anything on progress measurements in search. An excellent book for learning most of the basics of job search in one place. Even though it's a bit old, it's well worth reading and will help you be more effective in job search.

A Great Place To Start

At first the exercises felt hokey, but after I sat down and got to work it helped me get started with the overwhelming task of getting my job search in gear. From start to finish you need to do the work, but if you are not sure where to start, or if what you are doing isn't generating results this is the book for you.
