About the Author
Mrs. Naomi Vernon has a strong interest and desire to see America's youth successfully manage the unavoidable challenge of looking for employment. Having grown up in Cleveland, Ohio, an area dominated by the declining automotive industry of the 1960's, she witnessed how the decline caused confusion and havoc in people's lives. She observed how others reacted to their job search experiences and their struggle heightened her understanding and compassion. She also became fascinated by the power that this process could have over an individual's life. This experience motivated her to pursue a life's commitment in the Human Resources career field. Mrs. Vernon has been exposed to the ups and downs and to the many tales and myths that young people face during their job search undertaking. Further, through personal encounters and careful study of the 'job search process', she has come to recognize the stress and negativity experienced by a person of any age while looking for employment. She came to the conclusion that it was caused by the lack of self-knowledge, a fear of rejection, as well as being unfamiliar with the job search techniques. Her understanding and compassion of the daily struggles so many people have has lead Mrs. Vernon to ultimately write this book and to share her knowledge with anyone seeking a job or career.

Hopefully, after reading the book and completing the simple -but important assignments- anyone will view the job search process as adventurous and exciting. Most importantly, they will welcome the challenge! Mrs. Vernon has a Master of Arts Degree in Human Resources Development, certification from the California registry of Professio
