            5 out of 5 stars I liked it........2005-07-01

            This book containes a bit less information for skilled worker class immigration and employment search but I liked it. It offers an introduction to all categories for Canadian immigration if you are interested to know about all other categories then this is the book for you.It will take you to offical Canadian website for any update in policy. It is also packed with lots of websites for references and employment search.

            5 out of 5 stars Worth the money.......2005-06-28

            Simply awesome. This book reduced my dependence on computer with an internet connection, means I am carrying my PC with internet connection in the train on the bus and everywhere I want to. It is a portable handy resource with tons of information as per subject.

            1 out of 5 stars Extremely disappointing.......2005-03-15

            The information contained in this book are the same as you can find on the canadian immigration web site. On page "104", the auther has written a specimen to demonstrate profiency in English languange if English isn't your first language.That specimen contains loads of grammer errors. Its simply not worth buying it.

            5 out of 5 stars Good to have printed version.......2004-06-15

            Now, I understand why people buy dictionaries even they can find that on the web. It is portable needs no computer, power or Internet connection. Job search websites and interview questions are amazing.

            1 out of 5 stars Not so good!.......2004-06-13

            All the information written are exactly the same as you find at the Immigration section of the Canadian Government Web Site.
            I think they used the "Copy" and "Paste" and printed this book.
            I'm sure It's cheaper for you to read the Web Site.

                  4 out of 5 stars Great Overview of Interviews.......2003-04-13

                  This short, concise book describes types of interviews, how to prepare for them, the stages of interviews, how to follow up, and how to handle job offers. The recommendations apply to competitive interviews where the employer is hiring for a known vacancy. The print is large and there is a lot of white space.

                  This review is adapted from the Annotated Bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia

                  5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!! Very Helpful!.......1998-05-31

                  This is an excellent guide with the helpful hints for the most frequently asked questions. My interviewer asked me at least half of the questions covered in the book. It also gives 2 scenarios and explains what the person did good and bad in each. It really put me at ease. Great for anyone just starting the interviewing process.

                  5 out of 5 stars Do some soul-searching.......2001-11-02

                  This book really helped me do some soul-searching the last time I looked for a job. It leads you through a series of easy exercises to make you think about your strengths and weaknesses, and lays the groundwork for finding your ideal job. It also offers a lot of sensible, practical advice about what to do and what not to do, most of which I now feel is indispensable to a job search. I recommend this book to you if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how you stand out in the world. It's hard to show anyone else what you're great at if you don't know it for yourself.

                      On any given day, North American kids between the ages of 5 and 18 have tens of billions of dollars at their disposal.

He provides expert guidance on when to start an allowance and how much to give, how to teach kids to value money, when to start them saving for the medium and long term, where to draw the line between wants and needs, helping them with buying decisions, being generous without spoiling kids, and much more.

                      In 1997, the sky fell in Asia. Up until the moment the Thai currency crisis began in May of that year, most pundits could see no end to the "Asian miracle." Now many of those same pundits are predicting a more severe drop while others go so far as to suggest that Asia is entering a "lost decade." The hard truth, suggests Callum Henderson, the Managing Currency Analyst for Asia at Standard & Poor's, is not so dire or dramatic. While Henderson acknowledges that most of the affected countries, particularly Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, have a long way to go in transforming their economic systems, the long term outlook for Asia is good. The conditions that help to make high rates of growth possible--high savings rates, low taxation, good education systems, and high productivity--are still in place. What needs changing are the government policies that focused too heavily on exports as the main engine of economic growth.

                      Henderson traces how and why the currency crisis happened and finds useful parallels between it and the Mexican crisis that began in late 1994. He also offers specific remedies--such as the creation of a domestic bond market in Asia--and points to compelling opportunities in countries with mature financial systems such as Singapore. This is the first comprehensive look at the Asian financial crisis and should be useful to anyone doing business or investing in Asia. --Harry C. Edwards

                      2 out of 5 stars "Ora tau, Mingkem"(Javanese expression).......1999-11-17

                      This book is well written which makes it a usefull tool to improve my English.The content is OK, but nothing worth it to rave about.(Perhaps,the author need to visit Continent of Asia little more often.)

                      2 out of 5 stars 20/20 hindsight.......1999-04-08

                      This is a good book -- it tells what we already know. Too bad that the author could not predict any of these events -- but then of course hindsight is always 20/20! I do not think this book helps one to do business in Asia. One major drawback - the author seems to have no understanding of Asian business and seems not to have sullied his conclusions by speaking with any Asians. Read this book for a glimpse of perfect hindsight -- but read also "New Asian Emperors: the Overseas Chinese their Strategies and Competitive Advantages" by George T. Haley for a more fair appraisal of the Asian situation and a terrific understanding of Asian business.

                      4 out of 5 stars Insightful account for 1997 Asian currency Crisis.......1999-02-09

                      The Auther explain the underlining historical events ( e.g. the ups and down of dollar Yen exchange rate) that lead to the boom and bust of the Asian economics. He also account for the 1994 Mexico financial crisis in similar manner. Useful for understanding events shaping the world's economics.
