The Whitehouse plan for career transition is easy to follow, informative and it works. Bud is also great to work with. I highly recommend it.

This book will help you get a better job. It will also help you keep it or continue upward. But if you pay attention it will do much more than that. Bud doesnt just teach job search skills. He teaches life skills. Not a day goes by that I dont use something Bud taught me.

Charles Wayland , Healthcare Executive

Since I began working with Bud, every position I have accepted has been better than the previous one, and has continually advanced my career, my finances, and my life. When I look back at the position I was in when I began to work with Bud as compared to where I am now, I do not see how I could have achieved the success I have had without him. At every crucial moment in my career since, I have relied on Buds advice and recommendations to make the best choice possible.

Mark Ferraro , Consulting Director

Simply stated, Bud Whitehouse is the best. His 30 years in employment offer insights matched by few. Gifted in his timing, style and articulation, Buds presentation is comprehensive, yet easily understood. His technique, his spontaneity, and subtle humor produce results. Bud educates and motivates with the best. No, he is the best.

Allan Libby , Director of Tourism and Public Information

Bud Whitehouse makes a strong claim in this book when he writes You will recoup your investment from the purchase of this book many times over, and you will have control, not only over your job search, but over your career, if you do what it says. Those who have understood and embraced these concepts youre about to learn have dramatically improved not just their career prospects, but their lives. You can, too . Strong stuff, but true. I know, because his method worked for me and I have seen it work for others many times since then. Its true for three reasons: First, Bud knows his stuff, hes been doing it for over thirty years. Second, he tells it straight, pulling no punches and revealing the tricks of his trade. And third, he wants you to succeed, not him, he cares about you and he is writing this book from his heart as well as his head. Now I am a Jew and Bud a Christian. Jews look at what folks do. I know Bud not only believes his gospel but he practices it. When he told me he helps folks at his church with finding work and does it gratis, I told him I wanted to do this for my congregations. He came along and helped me create the program, also gratis. Buds the real deal and he and this book will help you get them to say, When can you start?

Robert Bob Rovin sky, Principal, Consulting Firm

I have sent everyone I have encountered these past 25 years who is in need of career help to Bud Whitehouse. He knows the field like no one else and his accumulated wisdom along with his outstanding people skills ensure the best possible results for each and every one of them. I have never had anyone tell me they were disappointed that I steered them to Bud. He is as close to a sure thing as you can find in the field.

Rev. Dr. David Tuck Knupp

Many people are unemployed, underemployed, or miserably employed. If you are one of these, this book is for you.

I wish I had been able to give my students this book when I worked at my last 3 universities. College graduates (and some of their parents) need Buds wisdom and knowledge.

It is not easy to find work that you love, are good at, and that serves the world. This book will help you do that.

Bud is a professional, natural wordsmith, so this book is a delight to read. He has a natural sense of humor that gives hope to the most frustrated job seeker.

Bud is a Master Coach and I know because he coached me! Bud was my very first career coach. He taught me how to

• Establish long range goals, identify needs, research
• Focus on a realistic position, commitment to a course of action
• Write an effective resume
• Obtain the interview and engage in stimulating conversation
• Negotiate salary and benefits without fear of mistakes
• Convert interviews to job offers to launch a brilliant career

The clients that Bud and I coached together averaged a 28% salary increase and completed their career search in just 4.7 months. 95% of the clients we worked with sent us glowing, ecstatic thank you notes.

Navigating the career world is both an art and a science. There is no captain I would rather have navigate my ship than Bud Whitehouse. Bud takes a lifetime of working as a professional career coach to inform his writing.

Do you want to leave your mark on the world?

Are you the kind of person who makes their own path?

Do you want to take responsibility for your future?

Your destiny awaits. Read and get the tools you need to shape your career.

I predict that you will be giving this book as gifts to those you love.

Work is not what one does to live, but what one lives to do. Buds wisdom can help make this a reality.
