Editorial Reviews

Review

"Simply brilliant. Here's what I love about this book: aside from the abundance of tips, advice, and insight, the positive encouragement rips off every page. As a job seeker, I would read this book just forthe encouragement, but for sure I'd learn something from every page!" --Jason Alba, CEO of JibberJobber.com and Author of `I'm on LinkedIn--Now What??? (2nd Edition)'

"Billie Sucher is one of the wisest career coaches I know. In this fabulous book, she offers over eight hundred pearls of wisdom, all served up in bite-sized pieces. From tips on resume writing to job search to interviewing, it's all covered. Listen to Billie--she knows what she's talking about!" --Louise Fletcher, President of Blue Sky Resumes, Managing Editor of Career Hub, and Author of `The Complete Guide to Resume Writing.'

"This little book provides 'twittillating' tidbits of wisdom, humor, and reflection in a very 'now' format. It stays in the crisp writing style that is definitely Billie. Don't think for a moment that one- or two-liners don't have value. Read one twittillation and you'll want another and another. Buy it, read it, keep it, and add to it!" --Steve Gallison, Gallison Associates Outplacement and Training Services

"With hundreds of valuable career books, guides, and resources available to today's job seekers, it would seem that a career expert would have to work some sort of magic for his or her book to stand out from the rest and take career advice to the next level. I am proud and excited to say that Billie Sucher has done just that. Billie has taken her exhaustive wealth of career search expertise and insight and has repackaged it into convenient, actionable, and easily-consumable tips. By harnessing the power of Twitter in her book's architecture, she has created a truly unique and engaging offering. To the job seeker who has a lot of research to do to stay on top of the search and too little time to do it in, I fully recommend you check out this book." --Chris Perry, Founder of CareerRocketeer.com

"Amongst the plethora of job search books on the market, this little book is a breath of fresh air. It's simple, yet totally on the money--timeless yet cutting edge, fun yet oh-so-very serious. If you're a job searcher looking for some quality advice in bite-sized tweets, you owe it to yourself to read this book." --Sital Ruparelia, Career and Talent Management Expert, England, UK, www.SitalRuparelia.com

I love this little book. Billie Sucher has crammed a ton of wisdom into 150 pages. The format is innovative -- 800 tweets about what it takes to find your dream job, arranged in alphabetical order.

Here are a couple of my faves...

A Appearance: You get one chance to shine in an interview. Always dazzle your audience with these three Ps -- professionalism, positivity, preparedness.

H Helpfulness: Helpfulness comes with no expectations, no conditions, and no paybacks. When you help others success, you'll be more successful!

M Mistakes: Life is a series of sweet success and mind-bending mistakes. Learn from both and go on.

S Sucks: Make a list of what sucks about your job search. What can you do about it?

See what I mean. Billie provides great advice with a sense of humor. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Do your friends a favor a buy copies for them
