I'm not sure what ebook format the book is in.
ETA from the writer: "It’s an ePub file (so you can easily read it on a Kindle or iPad), but I also include a PDF version for people who find that easier."

The book is self-published, but Alison Green is a well-known writer in the field who writes employment advice columns for
several publications. You can likely get the same job-search help for free by reading through Ask A Manager archives, but
How to Get a Job packages it helpfully together into one book.
Spoiler:
If you’ve ever wished that you could look into the brain of a hiring manager to find out what you need to do to get hired, How to Get a Job: Secrets of a Hiring Manager is for you.
Written from my perspective as a long-time hiring manager, this e-book gives you step-by-step guidance through every stage of your job search … explaining at each step what a hiring manager is thinking and what they want to see from you … from getting noticed initially, to nailing the interview, to navigating the tricky post-interview period, all the way through your offer.
In this e-book, you’ll learn things like:
what hiring managers are looking for when they ask common interview questions
how to talk about sensitive issues when you interview — firings, bad bosses, and more
how to avoid companies that aren’t a good fit
6 ways you might be sabotaging your job search
2 ways you can turn rejection to your advantage
I wrote this guide because I want you to stop feeling like you’re at the mercy of faceless employers, and to understand how you can really click with a hiring manager.

And, you’ll also get two free bonus items: two webinars, each an hour long, of me offering job search advice and doing Q&A. (These are audio files.)
