Hunting Books

I found this book from the library. Everyone has the power to control their own destiny in their jobs, careers and life. The author explains this so well. RECOMMENDED.

Yes, it is a fantastic guide to explore the business world - whatever your age, whatever your job is!

As an IT professional who have been involved in corporate world for more than 8 years and a survivor of one merge, one company shut down and one acquisition: while reading this book I either confirmed my hard way gained experience or discovered new concepts which made me stronger player. As a result, That made me think the writer knows the game very well...

Almost everyone of us, know or at least feel that the rules of the business has been changing at light speed. And we have one common mission: survive, or better improve and catch better opportunities. If you want to know how this would be possible: read this book and get the mentality to be a winner.

I wish Arlene had lived nearby, so that she could be my consultant whom I could ask my career related questions. It doesnt seem possible but her book would be my reference all over my professional life. I also like to note that the content of the book does not only be limited with business life but also in life general. (Well, to my concern these two are not seperate).

Believe me it is worth to try...

This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in carving or collecting wildfowl carvings. The book arrived within a few days and it was neatly and safely packaged to prevent damage. The book exceeded my expectations.

I bought this book as a gift for my father, who has been carving decoys for many years and taking classes with some of the local experts around the Chesapeake Bay area. When he brought the book to class the instructor had to borrow it for a week to read! It is not necessarily a book for beginners, but if you are serious about the craft, it is a top notch reference book.

It is a step by step guide that teaches everyone how to get a book in the USA. The author's dedication in helping her readers is expressed in her simple instructions of how to build up the tools for effective networking and success. It has helpful explanations, glossaries, templates for writing business letters. It helped me to find my dream job. Buy the book it will help you too!

How to get a job in the USA by Nara Venditti is the best book I have found to help immigrants and foreigners looking for a job in the US go through the job search process.

This book will help you to have a much better understanding of what you need to do to get the job that you want.

The book comes with the perspective of a person who was born outside the US, traveled to the US, and went through the job search process herself. This is a MUST have book for foreign-born and immigrant job seekers!

I picked up this book expecting the same old same old regurgitated information and found myself pleasantly surprised. Gorter's information was insightful, fresh, useful and in a format easy to read and understand. I would recommend this book to anyone in need of helpful information.

Great information for anyone seeking employment be they novice or experienced. Thumbs up on this one.

Townsend Albright has written a wonderful book about holding it all together financially when the unthinkable happens. I loved his ideas about negotiating with mortgage lenders, and for that matter, negotiating with everybody, as an alternative to bankruptcy or other less desirable options. Albright's book helps you keep the wolves at bay while trying to figure out your next step. When all else is bedlam, this must-read provides a sane approach for making it through the night. As an attorney who has helped financially-troubled individuals and others hitting the financial skids, I thought this book was an excellent, non-legal way to survive it all.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone just starting out as well as for the more seasoned job holder. It is written in a clear and interesting manner that engages your interest from the start. It is very well organized, and the comments by editor Ricki Frankel are especially cogent, helpful and insightful.

I am a big fan of Hundreds of Heads Books. It's as if you are sitting around with hundreds of people and getting the benefit of their collective experiences. It's brainstorming - but it's happening in your living room while you're sitting by yourself and sipping a cup of coffee.

The book covers every aspect of finding a job and being successful at it.
Yes, as the title suggests, it is about surviving, but it is also about thriving. It is about cultivating good habits as well as good relationships. It offers much in the way of practical advice that will help you avoid the pitfalls that lead to job dissatisfaction or trouble in the work place.

Whether you're looking for a job or want to feel better and do better at your current job, this is the book for you. It's funny and educational and could make a huge difference in your life and your career.

THIS BOOK IS A CONCISE,STRAIGHTFORWARD,INFORMATIVE WAY TO APPROACH THE TEMP WORK WORLD. IT DEFINES TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT, IT LETS YOU STILL REALIZE YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.....IT INFORMS YOU ON HOW TO APPROACH THE INDUSTRY AND DECIDING ON ASSIGNMENT OFFERS.....HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE ASSIGNMENT,HOW TO END THE ASSIGNMENT AND THEN THE PLUSES AND MINUSES OF TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT...IN THIS AGE OF CONTINUING DOWNSIZING,RETIRING AND RE-ENTERING WORKFORCE,AND CAREER CHANGING I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE A BEACON FOR EVERYONE THAT NEEDS TO KNOW A NEW WORK MENTALITY IS OUT THERE....AND YOU CAN STILL BE A PROFESSIONAL ABOUT IT.....

This book is an answer for everyone that has Deceided to enter the Job market at ANY age. Question's you may have on How to Prepare for a job to the smallest detail on What not to do in an Interview. This is a book that should be in every Home that has a chid that is just getting started in seeking gainful employment.

And being prepared this book show's how you will also impress your new employer. This is one stop shopping for everything YOU need to know on seeking employment. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

I credit this book with changing my life. In a period of lengthy unemployment I purchased the book, read every bloody page, and finally got the job I really wanted. And that job put me on a trajectory for long term career success. I am very sad to see that the book is out of print.

Even 15 years after its initial publication I would recommend this book highly. It will be missing tools that would be used today (for instance, not a word is devoted to the Internet), but there is still lots and lots of good advice to be found. Out of work? Buy this book!

This was the best job search book I have ever found. Why is it out of print so soon? It was published in 1992 with no updates or reprintings? I am shocked and disappointed. It is well worth your time and effort to find a used copy if you can! It is the complete guide to effective job finding....not just a catchy phrase.

This is really a fantastic book. It teaches a real lesson, not a contrived one like so many children's books, and by example (of the dog), not just by preaching. The subject is treatment of animals and the morality of hunting, and of making decisions for oneself, despite one's training (programming?).

Some parents are squirrely about the words deal or kill or hunt, but I think literature is a great place to introduce these things, because you can TALK about them, unlike in a kids' movie, where you are the last thing in the room they will pay attention to.

And if the story isn't good enough, the illustrations (as in everything by Brian Wildsmith) are just breathtakingly beautiful.

The length of the book is long enough to help children establish a decent attention span, but not so long as to be unreasonable to expect them to listen. We were lucky enough to get this for a shower gift before our first daughter was born, and are so grateful to have had it.

A great book for yourself or for a gift. HIGHLY recommended for all ages.

This tells the story of a trained hunting dog that just doesn't have the heart to bring the ducks back to his owner. He turns the hunter around and they both care for the injured ducks instead of hunting & killing.

I do not believe in hunting and I think this a gentle message and story to read to my young son, regarding his family's values and beliefs.

It is very hard to find books with such heart-warming messages.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to open up the world to their children in a refreshing way and not just the way "everyone else goes about life".

The illustrations are similar to "The Kiss" style and my 9-month old loves the bold colors and open spaces.

Thank you, Mr. Wildsmith, for opening readers' eyes to the sadness and pain hunting creates.
