I was shocked that this book was listed as used...It was in excellent condition for a fraction of the cost. I will be a returning customer.

This book takes an excellent approach by prompting the budding entrepreneur to take a close look at his/her personal motives and goals before deciding to start a business.

The way this book is set up with worksheets to guide generating your qualifications is a huge time-saver, streamlining your process. The way you will (no doubt) then streamline your workflow in your new job! Instead of mulling over the who-what-which's of it all, I had my resume prepared on Sunday and went out with it on Monday, just as the book describes. (Now if only I could say to you that I had an interview on Tuesday followed by a job offer, huh?!)
One of the most excellent pieces of advice in the book? "...Your desire is not to do a perfect resume - it is to get the perfect job." I highly recommend giving this book a run for its money, it's got some great advice on how to talk around your shortcomings and play up your successes and talents.

This book was filled with ideas and options for someone (like myself) who is looking into part-time work.

This book is well-researched. It is dense and has so much information written in a clear and consise manner. I especially enjoyed the segments about the workers who have made the successful change from full time to part-time.

Thank you, Ms. Berger. I am looking forward to implementing your suggestions into my own job search.

If you've ever worried about exactly what to say at a job interview, this book and accompanying set of 4 CD's is just what you need. It walks you through a wide variety of job interviews, and helps you anticipate questions you will be asked, and will want to ask. And unlike other books on getting a job, this one even guides you through interviews with job recruiters, plus how to handle job evaluation and promotion interviews once you've got the job and want to keep it, or advance.

Whether you are looking for that first entry-level job or a skilled position, this book has all kinds of appropriate things you can say about yourself, your training and experience. Drawing on actual job interviews, Ms. Cooper creates very realistic and appropriate language so that you can sail through job interviews with confidence, and get the job you want. She even helps you through the tricky salary negotiations with expressions that diplomatically get you into the salary range you want.

This book is great for people who speak English as a second language, but is also extremely beneficial for native speakers going through the job search process. The CD's give an opportunity to listen and practice saying just the right thing on your next job interview.

This book is a terrific help to anyone responsible for affirmative action compliance. I was going to spend over $5000 for a consultant before I found this book. Now I have this godsend of a "consultant" in book form, and I have the answers I need for now.

For big problems I'd still hire a consultant (probably the author of this book) but for routine stuff it's all in the book.
