From the Author

As a highly successful executive recruiter I know how and why people really get hired, and fired. I had watched people struggle through the gut wrenching experience of finding employment for many years. I decided it was time to make a positive difference and produced the GET TOP DOLLARS IN A JOB YOU LOVE! series. Matching who you are to what you love to do results in looking forward to going to work everyday. Isn't it time for you to enjoy what you do for a living?

From the Inside Flap

In the next twelve months one in five people will suddently lose their job. Bill Karlson takes the trauma out of career change, helps you find your life's passion and shows you how to get top dollars in a job you'll love.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really made me look at myself and what I am about!, October 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Get Top $$$ (Dollar) in A Job You Love! (Paperback)

Until I prioritized my life goals, I was usually in conflict with myself and others. Putting "things" in order has shown me what my capabilities and limitations are.

In my job search, Bill's Mile Marker system took away the stress of making cold calls. All of a sudden, those "scary" phone calls became job openings, phone interviews, networking contacts and interviews.

It works! It really does.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good advice about the advantage-driven résumé and other tips, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: GET TOP $$$ (DOLLAR) IN A JOB YOU LOVE! (Workbook) (Paperback)

The two points in Bill Karlson's book, which had the most impact for me, were: 1. The need for me to resist looking for a job that I may be good at, but don't particularly like, in favor of looking for a career doing something that I am passionate about. It is incredible how many people I've contacted who try to shove me into the same pigeonhole I've been in before. My challenge is to try to communicate better about what I'm really about, what I need to be looking for. 2. The other is the concept of the advantage-driven résumé. I liked the concept the first time I heard you, but didn't really know how to execute it. Your example gives me a better tool to use to work out my own advantage-driven résumé. Thanks.

If you are or you know someone that is not 100% happy with their career, this book is the answer. After working as a career counselor for over 10 years, Bill's book helped me achieve a position that I absolutely love. I thought I had all the answers after 10 years of advising others -- not so! After reading Bill's book, I obtained a full time position in the Media field within 6 months! No doubt; it works! Superb book for the unemployed AND employed! PS - I negotiated $3,000 more using Bill's techniques!
