Unemployed, But Moving On!

Smart Job Searching in a Web-Based World and a Sucky Economy

About this book

A must-read for anyone trying to get a job in a struggling economy. Challenges common assumptions and tells it like it really is from the perspective of a street-smart employment expert who works daily with the unemployed and those with not-so-hot backgrounds. Covers everything from writing resumes and letters, completing applications, and networking to conducting interviews, starting the job, and getting fired. Includes special chapters on ex-offenders and discrimination.
