100 Ways to Improve Your Career---and Life,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Can I Lie on My Resume?: Strategies That Win the Career Game (Paperback)
"Can I Lie on My Resume?" is more than a resume book, and for that matter, it's even more than a book on careers.
Rose Jonas' tone is that of the aunt you wish you'd had: worldly wise, kind, and no-nonsense. She uses the 'career game' as the overall metaphor, but each of the 100 suggestions is also anchored with a specific image. She doesn't just say, "Don't take a job that's not right for you" or use the cliche of sow's ears and silk purses. No, instead she shares an example from her own life about dragging home a kidney-shaped table and discovering that a coat of paint couldn't transform it into a Victorian desk. That sort of storytelling makes the point vividly memorable. As Lily Tomlin said, "The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat." Rose Jonas has practical ways to win---and come out a better human being in the process.

Raves for Rose,

This review is from: Can I Lie on My Resume? Strategies that Win the Career Game (Paperback)
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.

A gem of a book!,
By Rochelle Santopoalo (Evanston, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can I Lie on My Resume? Strategies that Win the Career Game (Paperback)
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!
