Often you hear about all the magic bullets to jobless-ness. Such as positive thinking, networking, career coaching, resume tweaking and job search mania but when they don't provide results you start to think it must be you and can easily become depressed. A "slow down" in the economy doesn't help. There are no quick fixes to career management. You need to continually invest time and money into career management to procure the dividends of future career opportunities. I look forward to reading this book as although I'm happily employed. I'm actively investing, planning and working on what my next job(s) will be. Although I think there is some value in each of those "magic bullets", I do appreciate some realism regarding the process! Thanks for the book recommendation!
