Book Description:
This is not just another job-search and career-management book. The rules for finding professional, white-collar work today bear little resemblance to what they were just a few years ago, and there has been little attempt until now to set forth what the new rules are and how to use them to best advantage. For some, the old rules don’t work as quickly as they used to. For a growing number, they do not work at all. And when people can’t find work, they erroneously conclude that the problem is with them—their skill set, ability to keep a job, or just bad luck. Difficulty in finding work today can be a demoralizing, energy-draining experience that saps our self-confidence and jeopardizes our dreams. People—especially white-collar workers— need help; they need to learn the new rules.
