I have also read many books on the art of job searching. These are my favorite authors and their books I recommend:
1) Martin Yate, CPC- in my opinion he is the Babe Ruth of the job search. I have been following him since the 1990's with his 'Knock Em Dead The Ultimate Job Search Guide' (now it its 25th year anniversary edition.) Everything is in this book you need from networking to the tough interview questions.
I also love the 'Knock Em Dead Cover Letters' book which teaches how to tailor your position desired to how the cover letter should be worded to suit that position.
I always tout this book to my friends in the job search process.

2) Dan Miller-what a surprise, I learned about him through the Dave Ramsey show.
I have read his books ' No More Mondays' and '48 Days to the Work You Love.'
Reading these books helped me came out of my comfort zone of sitting in front of a computer all day doing accounting to starting a blog and networking.
He also has a great website for job tips: http://www.48days.com/
3) Robin Ryan- I just came across her last September through the Harvey Mackay book I mentioned the other day about job searching techniques. I read 2 of her books '60 Seconds and You're Hired' as well as 'Over 40 and You are Hired'. Great advice in both books on the entire job search process.

I also just found out that she has a blog for the unemployed which I am gonna start following as of today.

Best of Luck to all still looking for a new position as I am in the same boat and understand your journey.
