5.0 out of 5 stars
Helpful and inspiring!,
By Jenny Chang (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advancing Into Temp, Contract, and Consulting Jobs: A complete guide to starting and promoting your own consulting business (Paperback)
Moore has a distinctive attitude toward consultants--people with a Noble Cause, who bring optimism, enthusiasm, good ideas, and expertise with them wherever they go. Captive Employees can get bogged down by meetings, beaurocracy, trying to fit the corporate mode, and having other powers decide your projects and professional development. After reading this book, I see that consultants can be more in control of all those factors. This book helps to give a framework for thinking about what it means to be a consultant, how to be an effective and successful consultant, pitfalls to avoid, and how to best serve the company you work for. It is full of helpful and practical ideas for setting consulting rates, learning new ideas, networking, and how to keep current.I especially recommend this book to people who are new to contract work, or considering contract work!

EASY Money Consulting,
By "goldtreepr" (DIAMOND BAR, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advancing Into Temp, Contract, and Consulting Jobs: A complete guide to starting and promoting your own consulting business (Paperback)
After reading this book, I promptly tossed a bookshelf full of other so-called "how-to" consulting books in the recycling bin. While the others were difficult to understand and provided sketchy details, Jimmy Moore lays out a simple, easy-to-follow, yet extremely effective methodology that anyone can use to launch or improve a career in temp, contract or consulting. I've been contracting for years and learned many surprisingly easy networking techniques for launching an engineering consulting career. My old resume that barely fit on two pages amazingly was able to fit nicely in the one page "skill-bullet" resume format - with less information yet carrying a bigger, more effective punch for busy recruiters who have little time to weed through a long, wordy resume. I also used Jimmy's step-by-step techniques to compile over 100 contract engineering agencies and their e-mail addresses. Initial results have been fantastic and the job calls should continue for months to come! And I STILL havent put all of Jimmy's techniques into action; including the website I am designing and will link up to potential clients. This book has put new life in my engineering career after hitting the "skids."

By Young Lee (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advancing Into Temp, Contract, and Consulting Jobs: A complete guide to starting and promoting your own consulting business (Paperback)
This informative, highly motivational book accomplishes just what the book title says. The author speaks candidly about his experiences and has developed a step-by-step procedure that reduces risk and can help virtually anyone to get ahead, even if they are already happily employed.
