The best book on accelerated career advancement

After I was layed off last year, I went to the library and checked out fourty books related to job seeking. Networking, resumes, career change, rapid advancement techniques, and everything in between. When it was all over I was left with two books. This book, which I purchased a copy of for myself, and Career Change by David P. Helfand (the only book I would recommend in addition to this book). Career change is geered more towards changing careers, while An Easier Way to Change Jobs focuses more on giving you the tools and know-how to advance within a related career (although not limited to that). After you are done digesting these two books, the renowned What Color Is Your Parachute will provide a few tidbits to fill in the gaps. What Color Is Your Parachute? 2007: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (What Color Is Your Parachute) Although the two books I have recommended are a little dated, the tools are timeless. Every other book I read on the subject(s) was simply written about a single detail that was covered in these two books. The material covered in Career Change by David P. Helfand that was not as thoroughly covered in An Easier Way was the methods of researching careers, interests, and getting your foot in the door. Such a vast amount of ground is covered that it took 38 other books to write individually about everything covered in the three books I have just mentioned. An Easier Way does not go as deeply into career assessment tools as does Career Change, which goes in to practically every detail, including the Holland Codes, the Occupational Outlook handbook, and Onet. Most of these tools are now available online, yet there are many library reference books for researching companies that may still be of greater value. The reason that Bob Gerberg has managed to condense all of the knowledge that the other 38 books wrote about into one book is two fold. First, it is based on a SYSTEM. Secondly, Mr. Gerberg is an established and successful copywriter. For those who don't know what that means, it means he is able to take what might take someone else an entire chapter to say, and sum it up in a "headline" or a "salesletter". In other words, he gets right to the point. The other 38 books I read were mostly "filler", which means garbage added to the book in order to fill it out. That does not help you or me at all. In fact it only confuses. It is a testament to Bobs ability to write concisely that he was able to say in one book what the other 38 books together were trying to say. I believe it was Mr. Bolles of What Color is Your Parachute that said, today a person can expect to change jobs at least five times in his/her lifetime. The lessons in these books are not a quick fix, or a quick read. They are lessons that have to be mastered. Ignorance is no excuse, and the next guy or gal in line for that position just might have read these books. The only way to understand what I have just said is to buy these three
