Buy It, You Won't Regret It!.......2003-08-06
Good material for building a job search campaign.......2000-08-02
Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Accelerated Job Search" docwifford@msn.com
Do you have the guts to change?.......2000-06-01
I sat them next to my couch, got a glass of iced tea and went to work perusing the pages. Right away it was evident that, for the most part, the only thing different about these how to tomes was their cover. Inside was the same tired advice and the same over used examples of resumes and cover letters.
Guess what? As an employee candidate your job is to stand out from the crowd, not blend in with it.
I had just about given up on my reading (and was getting more depressed by the minute) when I came across "Who's Hiring Who?" I could tell right away that it was different, the question was, would I have the guts to run free, as the book encouraged, or would I continue to run with the herd?
When I read "Who's Hiring Who" I was three months into a job search. After this much time spent looking for work (and I was at it 12 hours a day!) I told myself that my resume, which took form based upon a lot of the ancient advice in the mainstream resume books, wasn't working and I wasn't going to lose anything by trying the advice in "Who's Hiring Who?"
It took me a week to read the book, really think about the suggestions it made, and then distill it's principles into my new QUALIFICAITONS BRIEF. No more resumes! Other no mores? No more worrying about a spotty work history. No more worrying about an incomplete (that means little or no college) education. The book tells you the best ways to accentuate the positive and marginalize the negative.
Within two weeks I had several job offers on the table. Within a month I had done more than get a job, I had successfully changed careers and was working for a hot software company with benefits out the wazoo and a pay rate higher than I'd hoped for!
(Since then I've read Tom Peter's book, "Circle of Innovation" (I think that was the book), which, when talking about resumes says who cares about education, companies want to know what you've done. What have your successes been? This is one thing "Who's Hiring Who?" focuses on.)
My advice to you? Buy the book, follow its advice and have the guts to change!
Not sure if this book is still useful in 2000........2000-04-12
The job search book that worked for me........1999-08-09
Now it is out--in a new edition--from Ten Speed Press. If the recently published update is as good as its original (which was 1983), you can do worse than buy the book and, as the blurb suggests, do what it says--you just might land your dream job.
And Amazon.com--shame on you for not having this edition in stock!

Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again: Selecting Candidates Who Are Absolutely Driven to Succeed
Christopher Croner , and Richard Abraham Manufacturer: The Richard Abraham Company, LLC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0974199613 |
Product Description
Underperforming salespeople are perhaps the greatest cause of frustration to sales executives and financial loss to business owners. The cost of hiring and keeping a bad salesperson can range from six to seven figures annually. To make matters worse, many companies waste money by trying to train sales skills in people who will never improve. Research shows that the most important factor for success is a salesperson's Drive - the inner fire that ultimately determines if he will thrive or fail. This critical trait is hardwired by adulthood, and cannot be improved with sales training. The job interview process must accurately evaluate Drive to identify future superstars and avoid underperformers. However, research shows that Drive is one of the toughest traits for interviewers to rate, and one of the easiest traits for candidates to fake. To make matters worse, many sales managers hire based on gut instinct. Thus, they are severely disappointed later. This book provides: * Psychological research behind the three elements of Drive * A valid hiring process for selecting top performers * Interview questions to accurately determine whether a candidate is drivenCustomer Reviews:

The Wonderful O
James Thurber Manufacturer: Yearling ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0440405793 Release Date: 1992-02-01 |
Book Description
GRAMMY AWAARD NOMINEEThe Wonderful O tells of a man named Black who despised the letter "O." He deleted it from his language and omitted it from his words. Opals, moonstones, owls and oaks could not possibly be his items of choice. He preferred emeralds, rubies, sapphires and maps. At least they had no "O." Soon he wanted his entire village to omit the letter "O." But the villagers found words they would not do without- HOPE, LOVE, VALOR, and the most important one of all.
Customer Reviews:
Chas and cnfusin reign supreme.......2003-12-31
Thurber has written a hilarious book showing the pure chas and cnfusin that reign when the language is stripped of its O's. How can you tell a cat from a cat? Or a bat from a bat? Strip the O from the language and we will all be indeed bgne and webegne. Not to mention losing words like hope, love, valor, and the greatest of all, freedom.
Black may have stripped the language of all its O's but he can't break the people's spirit, and eventually he and his crew hoist anchor and sail away into the sunset, leaving the people and their island with all their O's intact. Kids will love this book for the hilarious play on words, as well as for the message it gets across. A wonderful bk (oops, I mean book) for youngsters and oldsters alike. How could there be youngsters, or oldsters, or books, if there weren't any O?
N_ _h! What are we t_ d_?.......2003-11-17
Oh, no -- no O.......2002-07-04
Meanwhile, the captain of the ship, who hates the letter O, issues an edict. "I'll get rid of the letter O, in upper case and lower...All words in books or signs with an O in them shall have the O erased or painted out. We'll print new books and paint new signs without an O in them." Thus objects and words with Os are banished from the land forever.
Disaster! Imagine the impact on community life! No houses, cottages or bungalows -- only huts, shacks, sheds, shanties and cabins without logs. No dough for the baker, no gold for the goldsmith, no forge for the blacksmith, no cloth for the tailor, no chocolate for the candymaker. (NOW you've gone too far!) No poetry without Os.
Thurber writes, "A man named Otto Ott, when asked his name, could only stutter. Ophelia Oliver repeated hers, and vanished from the haunts of men."
"We can't tell shot from shoot or hot from hoot," the blacksmith pointed out in a meeting with other townsfolk. "Oft becomes the same as foot, and odd the same as dodo. Something must be done at once or we shall never know what we are saying."
The islanders decide that there are four words with an O that must not be lost. Hope, love and valor are three of them and the fourth is the point of the story.
This is a beautifully written, rhythmic tale. THE WONDERFUL O will appeal to everyone who loves language. The story is a challenge to the imagination of the reader.
