Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I just finished this book and am watching the free seminar that goes along with it. I have read a lot of career-related books in my day and must say I was very impressed with this one. Her advice is very sound and she is continually inspiring her readers. In addition to addressing many of the "usual" topics approached in job-hunting books like resumes and networking (which she does a very good job with), she approaches topics like telecommuting, making good use of social media, work/life balance issues, freelancing, self-employment, and starting your own business. This is definitely one of the most comprehensive books I've read on the topic, and yet it remains very concise. She does a good job with each topic too; I like her overall approach. For example, she does a really good job guiding readers through anticipating objections to proposals like getting a raise, asking for flextime, etc. If you're looking for a new job (or are starting to get nervous about your current job), this book is an absolute must-read.
Great book for job-seekers. Very inspirational too!

I had the pleasure of meeting Tory at her book signing in NYC and I just finished this book. She's penned a comprehensive and upbeat book for job seekers. I particularly liked her ideas about working from home and networking -- not to mention her suggestions of music to get you going. Every job-seeker should read this book. I'm personally working with some job-seekers from her book signing and I look forward to using the ideas from her book. Thanks, Tory.
Excellent and Encouraging Job Search Tool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book brings very specific instruction on how to do things the right way. I searched and read many articles, a few books and took a few self-study courses early in my job search, but I found Tory's book to be the most helpful. It is written on the "how to do it and practical level" rather than a theoretical level. This book has also encouraged me to stay in the race and to not give up. This book will serve those seeking a job, changing careers, or re-entering the workforce.
LOVE IT!

Packed with so much--from Tory's candid confessions to her favorite work-from-home resources to details on starting a job club or finding an adult internship to everything under the sun to get hired. Tory takes a frustrating subject and makes it enjoyable. You want to wipe the slate clean and start fresh with your search.
