An excellent fact-packed field guide to hunting for a new job!

How to Get a Better Job Quickly by Richard Payne Surprisingly, this job hunting job, now in its third edition, is stil available. I owned the first original edition (1979). I remember vividly my decision to explore new opportunities to stretch my professional potential, especially towards the late 70's, after having stayed in the same engineering job for more than thirteen years. I was eagerly contemplating a new engineering job that had a prominent slant towards marketing. I came across this job hunting book by chance. I found it to be an excellent fact-packed field guide. Prior to this book, I had read & digested all that had been published on the subject in the public library during the period. I therefore found this book to be the best I had seen on hunting for a new job. It was also well written & easy to read. More importantly, the author had excellent credentials in personal marketing & outplacement services. In retrospect, no detail in a job hunt was overlooked. Among other basic tips, the author helped me to isolate my key experiences that would sell myself & to put them across in a resume & interviews. Practically, every conceivable aspect of job hunting was covered, from writing the first letter to securing the final offer with maximum returns. Throughout my twenty four years of working in the corporate world, I had made three major career transitions. This book was my one & only field guide.
