Publisher's Synopsis

Whether you are currently employed and looking for something better, or out of work and need to get back into the workforce, you are about to embark on one of the most difficult jobs you will have during your career. That is the job of finding a job. There are two main reasons that finding a job is so difficult. First, few people have been formally trained in the process of getting a job. Second, there are so many ways to pursue this that it is difficult to know how to get started and what to do. Fortunately, there are thousands of resources available to assist you with your job search efforts. These include job boards, blogs, resume writing services, career coaches, and a myriad of others. The problem then becomes which ones of these do you use and how much, if anything should you pay for them. That is what this guide is all about.
