5.0 out of 5 stars Useful step-by-step help in improving your career opportunities, October 10, 2008
By A. Schweitzer (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the current economic environment, I think everyone is somewhat of a "Career Coward."

I have worked with Katy Piotrowski one-on-one for a decade, and her coaching has led me to grow my professional skills far more than I could have on my own. I now run my own business, and it has grown and become quite successful. These books cover the information and career strategies that I have followed, and found to be quite useful.

There are few "quick, get rich" solutions to managing your career. Not many people get lucky and have the perfect job just turn up. Most of us, like me, have to slog through figuring out what they want to do, and how to go about it, and how to keep the enthusiasm going when you get stuck and things aren't moving forward. These books are for the person who wants to make the stressful "slogging" part more fun and productive. (And for those optimistic people who like to jump off the career high dive, they probably wouldn't buy a book with "Career Coward" in the title, anyway!)

For me, changing careers and building my business wasn't easy and didn't happen overnight, but has been a rewarding challenge. I am a step-by-step person, and while that may be "cowardly" at times, I think it is also practical for most people to do career changes in manageable steps and not to take huge career risks that could backfire.

Katy Piotrowski's ways of encouraging me to look realistically for manageable steps to take along the way, and to seek and find real opportunities, have been invaluable to me! I recommend this book, and all the books in the series.

Security, the one thing hat will keep someone in a job that they despise with all of their being. "The Career Coward's Guide to Job Searching: Sensible Strategies for Overcoming Job Search Fears" is a guide designed for those in such a situation who want to move on with their careers without the insane risk usually associated with such methods. Encouraging and insightful, it's an ideal manual for the timid to get the courage they need, making "The Career Coward's Guide to Job Searching" an essential addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Job Search Gem, October 29, 2008
By Carilu (Fort Collins, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Piotrowski has a knack for making the daunting seem do-able and she also gives readers solid advice. As an HR professional, I often find the advice that career gurus offer can run counter to what works in the real world. Fear not, job seekers will not drive the HR pro nuts by taking the advice offered in this book. Piotrowski is up to date with current market trends and her emphasis on networking and tapping into positions that are not even posted is invaluable to job searchers.
