This book is the most concise and right on helpful dose of getting your act together on the job market. At any point of job dispair, you can pick it up, even for a few minutes, and can be assured of devouring some pearl of wisdom that will assist in the job satisfaction quandry/search. The style of writing is so humorous and engaging, you'll find it more difficult to put down than a potato chip, and certainly less fattening. In fact, it could help you fatten your wallet if you take a fraction of the advice. Even if you think you have read every book on this topic, you can be assurred of new ideas, or looking at old ones from a very fresh perspective. Another idea that she explores in depth, is evaluating your current job before determining if other pastures are truly greener. Before you plunk down hundreds on a job coach, career placement service or the like, this is a must and worth every penny.

The book provides sage advice, coddled in humor and warmth, for us underemployed yet educated workers. It's refreshing to read a book from a writer who both cares about her audience and is willing to share the kind of advice we all need to hear when times are tough (like now!). An invaluable resource if you're feeling a bit fragile but know you need to keep pushing forward to find fulfilling employment. Kudos to the author for a fine publication!
