Right on target!

What I really like about this book are the comprehensive exercises at the end of each chapter. They really helped me gain some clarity on how to approach this tough job market. Plus, they gave me a step-by-step game plan on how to win my next position. Finally, the book is written in a easy-to-get style that really sings!John Gilbert

Bingo!

Well, somebody finally got it right. It covers all the bases, from the exercises at the end of chapters to the projections of the fastest growing occupations. Read (and memorize if possible) Chapter 5--Reinvent Yourself: Think Like a Change Agent. It's the key to the future.

The Career Coach; Winning Strategies for Getting Ahead

This book is definetly the way to take control of your own career. The text is honest and straightforward and the tactics are easy to implement. Each chapter has an interactive excercise to complete to keep yourself on track. This book puts you in the driver's seat out in this crazy market.

Empowering!!

I'm currently seeking employment and let me tell ya....this book is GREAT, not only for me but for those already in the workforce. I also appreciated at the end of each chapter, there is "reflection" time. Lokoing into one's self is a good thing and Gordon helps you do that. This book can help if you choose to read it. Way to go Gordon for getting my attention AND keeping it!
