Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting: Attract the Work You Want [Paperback]

Laura George (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 29, 2007

Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting approaches job-hunting from Lynn Grabhorn's philosophy of the astonishing power of feelings introduced to more than half a million readers. Laura George applies the powerful Law of Attraction to the life experiences of both losing and getting a job. George captures the style and substance of Excuse Me and helps you identify the qualities you want in a job and then shows you how to flip the negative feelings you may be carrying ("the economy is terrible"; "I can't believe I got laid off"; "I'm too old") so you can stay focused and upbeat to draw that perfect job to you.

Experienced in job hunting from both sides of the interview table, George understands all the highs and lows in this emotionally draining process. As a job seeker, she teaches you to stay positive after months of few prospects and little hope. As a human resources manager she also knows that these powerful, positive feelings can land seekers the job of their dreams. By exploring the "power of feelings" on your job search, this new job seeker's guide is unlike any other. George shows you the job market through the employer's eyes and offers insider information on résumés and cover letters, internet job boards and on-line applications, interview and salary negotiation strategies, and much more.

I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to read this book. It truly inspired my thoughts and actions and gave me the insight and encouragement I needed to continue my job hunt. There are so many practical stories and lessons that stuck a very deep cord with me.
I love the story of the monks, it was very appropriate --many lessons of "letting go" that I needed to embrace. Also reading about anger as a motivator really made me put things in perspective. While there are many excellent parts of the book I have to say the section on Value was most important. What a way to communicate a very simple yet troubling topic that surely everyone can relate to. I realized that finding your own Value, believing in it, really Believing in it, and capitalizing on it, is very hard, especially when you've been told that you're not so good and/or if your job search has stalled. The first thing to go is your sense of Value and without it, you're truly just a shell of a person.
I'm also looking very forward to passing it along to my mother who will benefit particularly from the chapter about getting out of RUTS! If I could talk to Laura I would thank her for her very concise and effective guidance on job seeking. I've grown as a person for reading it and my job search is coming to a close with offers streaming in! Teachings on the Law of Attraction are so critical to successfully seeking new employment, Thanks Laura!

This review is from: Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting: Attract the Work You Want (Paperback)

This is a very interesting and positive outlook on any job search. Ms. George give practical, mental and spiritual/internal advice on how to be in alinement to prepare, pursue and obtain your ideal job/career/vocation. Since I have read her book (and continue to re-read), I have learned how to take care of myself and even take time to really focus on what I desire my next assignment to be. As I am constantly becoming more intune with the process of the Law of Attraction, I continue to keep having offers that get better and better. I recommend this book to people who really are ready to take responsibility for their outcomes and want to have a positive outlook in finding their career that best suits them.

This review is from: Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting: Attract the Work You Want (Paperback)

While I have high regard for the works of Rhonda Byrne, Lynn Grabhorn and others who have written on the topic of the Law of Attraction, for me this book did not bridge the topics of the Law of Attraction and job/career search in a meaningful way. The content does include some interesting anecdotes from the author's career in Human Resources, but I am afraid while this book may be of interest to the believers of "The Secret," it may be hard to swallow for many job hunters seeking more immediate results in this job market and most difficult economy since "The Great Depression." Spiritually, I am interested and open to the possibilities of the Law of Attraction, I just think for most careerists it will be to much of a "leap of faith" at this point in our history. Best of luck to all...."Always Be Careering"!
