How can you play the game, if you don't know the rules?

Cynthia Shapiro has done the job hunting world a great service in writing the book What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here?: 44 Insider Secrets That Will Get You Hired. I particularly enjoyed the pieces on salary negotiation and hidden agendas of hiring personnel. If you think you understand the hiring game...think again.
