Insider’s Guide to the Successful Job Search: Create a Winning Resume, Ace the Interview, Get the Offer, Take Charge of Your Career
The best qualified person doesn’t always get the job offer.

It covers every aspect of the job search and gives you tips, tools and tactics you can use to create a professional advantage. Whether or not you’re currently engaged in a search, the book outlines steps you can take right now to increase your marketability.
