Job
Search Handbook for People With Disabilities
Customer
Review
|
|
Job Search Handbook For People With Disabilities by
vocational counseling expert Daniel Ryan (Adjunct Professor of
Education, Canisius
College and the University at Buffalo) is one of the few complete career
planning and job search guides for people with physical and mental
disabilities. The book explains the rights of people with disabilities and
how they should approach getting a job. It explains how to assess one's
skills and abilities, recommended education and preparation, how to create
the resume, how to prepare yourself for an interview, what to do after the
interview, how to accommodate one's disability on the job, and much more.
Very helpful is the chapter on employment laws and how they apply to the
individual. The book is loaded with absolute need-to-know information for
all job seekers, but especially brimming with critical tips, tricks, and
techniques for those adapting to the challenge of a disability. Job Search
Handbook for People with Disabilities is highly recommendable.

Over-40
Job Search Guide: 10 Strategies For Making Your Age An Advantage In Your
Career
by Gail Geary
|
|
Gail Geary presents with this book for people over 40, an excellent
self-marketing advice by showing the reader how to present their age as an
advantage to employers rather than a disadvantage. If you are over 40 and
looking for a new job opportunity, you can find examples and worksheets to
update your resume and to navigate the current employment market with
today’s techniques. To me the book has very important tips on interview
responses and the consideration of midlife career transition issues. This
book is an outstanding resource for the over-40 job seeker as it addresses
the real issues you face as an older worker looking for a job and gives
you strategies for overcoming them. Susan Boone MBA, MS, Psychotherapist, Speaker, and

Award Winner!
This book is much more than just a “navigation”
of the Federal Job System. Ten Steps to a Federal Job takes you from the
decision to search for a federal job through the final interview with a
government agency. Packed with practical advice, there are also several
valuable appendices, including federal job Web sites, sample federal
resumes, KSAs, and cover letters. For those who are interested in
obtaining a Federal Government job, this book is a MUST read. The
accompanying CD-ROM is a great time saver.

Customer
Review

Selected
by New York Public Libraries for the "Books For The Teen Age 2003
List", the best titles published for teenagers, ages 12-18.
The
book profiles twenty-two women and the jobs they do, from choreographer to
FBI agent, describing their education, duties, personality traits, and
other factors in their career success, and gives specific ways to
determine one's own future work.
With
its great stories, solid advice, and goal-setting tips, Cool Women, Hot
Jobs is highly recommended for young women seeking to enter the workforce
and though some of the careers highlighted require more than just formal
school training, options are presented that many teens might not even
consider.

Fashion
Careers: The Complete Job Search Workbook, Third Edition
by Wendy Samuel, Beth Phillips, Renee Palmer
|
|
The initial impression is a spiral bound book with a laminated
cover and pages that look like they have been Xeroxed, and have nothing to
do with Fashion. But just forget the somewhat poor design of the book and
you’ll find a great guide for anyone looking for a
job – and not only in the fashion or fashion-related industry. The new
3rd updated and revised edition includes an up-to-date list of Job Search
Web Sites, a new Research Section including URL's for fashion industry
publications and many tips for the job search that work universally
for any job. Every type of possible resume
necessary to get into the fashion field is included, with accurate names
of companies.

The
Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos
by Murray Mann, Rose Mary Bombela-Tobias
Customer
Review
|

“This book is a valuable and resource-loaded gold mine for
Latinos.”
Being a Latino in the United States still is a synonym for working
at low-paying and menial jobs and the situation is slowly changing for the
better. Due to the accelerated ageing process of the American workforce,
the Latino workforce-drawn from a population having an average age of
26-is becoming a vital part of the national economic future. The Complete
Job Search Guide for Latinos presents a comprehensive career road map
designed to resonate with Latino and Hispanic job seekers at experience
levels ranging from college students through mid-level managers. If
you’re a Latino job seeker, instantly you’ll find user-friendly advice
and information. The author stresses the importance of developing good
English communication skills, extending job skills to make oneself
valuable to an employer, dealing with discrimination problems, learning to
tap into Latino and Latino-friendly professional associations, and much
more.
This book includes a comprehensive career management assessment
survey that will help readers review and improve on skills they need to
develop their career.

Careers: The Ultimate Guide to Getting a High-Paying Sales Job
by Louise M. Kursmark, Edward R. Newill
|
|
"This is not a sales 'rah-rah' book that is designed to talk you into a sales career by artificially boosting your ego with a lot of psychobabble," says author Ted Newill. "Making a career mistake can be tragic for the individual and the company he or she is trying to represent." Instead, the book gives a realistic picture of what a sales job is like and lets the reader decide if sales are a good career option. This book is my first choice if you are looking for a guide to get a higher paying sales job.
9/2/2004 Bill
Handley, President, MRI Apollo Group (executive search firm) writes: Sales Careers is a must read for anyone serious about getting into sales. It is very insightful as to what to expect and gives many pointers on how to get into sales. Additionally, there are a lot of resource guides in the last section that are invaluable. With Sales Careers, you have your road map to sales success.
