Summary

Finding a job in today's economy is anything but easy for those who are unemployed or want to change jobs or careers. If you follow the standard "job search rules," you may experience disappointment, frustration, lengthy unemployment, mounting financial debt, and a less than promising career future. This should not be, say the authors of this upbeat, unconventional job search guide to quickly finding employment close to home.
