3.0 out of 5 stars a must for serious career seekers, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Employment Portfolio, The: Identifying Skills, Training, Accomplishments, and References for the Job Seeker (Paperback)

The Employment Portfolio gives more insight and direct guidance to the serious career and employment seeker than any new publication seen recently. With an easily remembered devise -"STAR"- you can begin your job search with intellegence and some understanding into what it takes to reach your full potential in the world of work. This book takes you by the hand and leads you far beyond the classifieds and job-service listings and into the world of personal insight, growth, and satisfaction with what you do for a living. Highly recommended.
