About this title

Review

"I am a recent graduate of Christian Women's Job Corp. I was given a copy of your book, On Your Own. I'm writing to let you know how helpful it was. It gave good tips on how to look for a job. It's been a long time since I've had to look for a job. The part about jobs was most helpful. I'll keep this book on hand to refer back to if needed."

"Concise yet comprehensive! Second semester seniors would definitely benefit from a course that utilizes this book as the text to help them transition life with more ease and expertise. When conducting corporate training I am continually shocked by the lack of basic consideration of coworkers and elemental grooming in the workplace. Author Jumper touches on all these potential offenses. From now on the checks I give as graduation gifts will be tucked inside this helpful book that covers all that great instruction parents give that is not heard."
-- Janna Beatty, parent, professional consultant

"A must-read for both the young and those striking out on their own. The author gives some very tried and true advice as well as many new ideas on helping people through the journey of life. This is an excellent book to guide young people to success in their lives. It offers advice on resume building, obtaining a job, and being successful in a career--all the information a person needs to live independently. The book contains excellent chapters on time management and stress reduction techniques."
-- Ken Culver, college instructor
