Synopsis

This book helps those who regularly find themselves in job transition, whether it is transitioning from job to job or if you have been out of work for some time. This book not only explains why employers don't hire you and fire you most often, but it also gives winning examples of what other have successfully done get employed (even after years of unemployment) and stay gainfully employed.The strategies in this book are based upon over 20 years of working at job information centers where I helped thousands of job-transitioning participants not only get back to work, but also find jobs they enjoy and that they keep for years. This is not your typical job helps book. The insights here are not your typical cookie cutter recommendations, but are actual steps that participants have taken to get over major job hurdles. I discuss real issues that real people have to overcome in order to build a career. Let me tell you that you will not like some of my advice because it will surely make you uncomfortable and cause you to face some issues about your work or lack thereof that you have refused to deal with.Get this book for yourself. And if you are not ready to face the realities of the world or work, then get this book for someone you know that could use it. In any case, somebody is going to learn life-changing lessons that will propel them from their Point A to their Point B. I hope that person is you.Thank you.

About this title

About the Author

Ed is an author of how-to books. His father told him that with a degree in Social Science he could go into any field, so after graduation Ed worked in fields from business to theology only to discover that he enjoyed writing about his experiences more than the experiences themselves. Ed has two teenagers who are a stone’s throw away from college, but he doesn’t plan on recommending that either of them earn a degree in Social Science. For Ed, on the job success has as much to do with finishing something as it does with starting it.
