4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2001
David Andrusia draws on his varied experiences - in marketing, as an executive, and as a career consultant - to teach you to create and deliver the perfect pitch, in person or on paper. Cleverly and clearly written, this book provides plenty of winning pitches from real-life employees and prospective employees. It includes ample insights into getting your next job, winning a promotion, or obtaining approval for your idea. It shows you how to get what you want by meeting the needs of those hearing your pitch. We [...] highly recommend this book to people in business at every level. After all, everybody has to pitch something to someone nearly every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars different from other selling yourself books
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2002
The Perfect Pitch really gives you the right mindset you need to sell yourself to companies and other people. Sometimes the sample cover letters in this book seem a bit to casual for conservative industries, nonetheless, the attitude is what is important. Well-written style keeps you interested. What I like most is that Andrusia will not BS you, he gets down to what you have got to do. I especially liked his advice on networking, how it is an important thing to do, but not something to be relied upon to find a job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to Pitch Yourself
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 1999
Were it not for this book I would never have gotten the dream job I now have. I have been a capable researcher for years but underemployed due to my distaste for "marketing" myself, based largely on my complete inability to market myself. This book provided the "Eureka!" I needed to understand how to pitch myself. The author is a friendly, offbeat guide to the world of ethical self-promotion. I recommend it to anyone who freezes in job interviews and to whom selling oneself does not come naturally.
