A good plan for an organized job search

Kenneth and Sheryl Dawson have put together a very worthwhile book for those seeking employment. I agree with much of what they say, and I appreciate the emphasis on organization. Well done.Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Accelerated Job Search" docwifford@msn.com

This book virtually guarantees you a great job!

This is a no-nonsense, common sense approach to job hunting. There is no room for senseless babble here. The Total System, is a professional, uncomplicated and realistic bible for the "soon to be employed." It doesn't matter whether you are a top-ranked CEO, or an entry-level, college student, this book will basically hand you your next job.Let me put it this way: this book helped me to land my first job out of college, successfully win a regional director's position within 2 years of employment with the same company and then launch my own consulting business. Whenever I hear my clients ask me about what to use as a refrence for their own job search or what to look for when hiring, this is the only book that I would sincerely recommend. (I even loaned my brother my personal copy for his own job search.)
