PRAISE FOR WIN THE JOB YOU WANT!
[Win the Job You Want!] is well-done and I believe anyone in a job search can benefit from using it. It is an easy read with a focused approach to the various aspects of a job search and how to pursue each action. The organization is logical and positive with emphasis on self-analysis and self-help while not ignoring family, friends and others impacted by the situation.
There are numerous analogies throughout that use familiar settings or circumstances to illustrate the current point of discussion. This brings the thought process up close and personal for ease of understanding. Additionally, the job seekers thought process is continually broken down into manageable bite-size pieces in multi-step approaches to organized analysis and attack of each feature of the search.
This book offers a common sense approach to the specifics of a job search but also provides the individual with skills that have a direct translation to day-to-day performance in the new job.

Am very impressed [with Win the Job You Want!]. It is well organized and written. I especially liked the time spent on the emotional issues, which often are the candidates greatest enemy. I cant tell you how many times I have counseled a new job-seeker to get over it... ok, you got screwed, now lets talk about what you can do for your next employer. A couple months ago I had such a conversation with a very senior guy who just wouldnt let go. I finally gave up trying to convince him otherwise!
I also liked the summary section of each chapter. I think the book is a refreshing perspective for the job seeker in todays environment.
RM, Professional Recruiter
Its concise, easy to follow, and packed with useful information.
GB, Non-profit
Very understandable. Inviting to read. The more you read the more you want to read. Secrets 4 and 5 were most helpful and I learned the most I didnt know. The bonus on job fit: I thought I knew this, but didnt!
RC, Transportation (Job seeker)
Really liked it a lot. Easy to read, full of clear, detailed examples of dos and donts. It takes you through the whole process. And its so pragmatic! I especially like the dontsthat is something people should really take to heart. And the reminder to be kind and respectful to everyone you meet along the job seeking process. I know more than one candidate who got dissed by an assistant for rudeness. Now theres a real deal-breaker.
MK, Non-profit
Thank you for the copy of your book. I was only able to look at it briefly on Sun. night before my interview, so I went to some specific topics first. I found the information and ideas quite helpfulespecially the part on possible questions to be prepared for. And sure enough the interviewer yesterday asked versions of both of themthe one about where I want to be in 5 years and what my weaknesses are. Thanks to reading those pages the very day before, I had some thought out answers. And now I plan to read your book properly, from start to end.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
According to Winston Churchill, writing a book comes in four stages. It begins as a toy or novelty, but by stage four, it has become a tyrant, ruling your life. If Churchill was right, then this book has been the exception to that rule and for that we give credit and appreciation to all the outstanding Hiring Managers who helped us to make this book a reality.
We could fill a book with just the names of all the Hiring Managers we consulted! Each Hiring Manager was gifted, passionate, and placed a high value on the information he or she shared freely within these pages to job seekers everywhere. As a whole, they recognized that a book like this has the ability to streamline the entire hiring process, so that parties from both sides of the desk can walk away satisfied with a successful, comprehensive experience.
