* Defines the ground rules for the new world of employment so you’re not caught unaware. It used to be enough just to be employed. Now everyone, including the CEO, is a free agent who must create enough value to be "rehired" each pay period or each project.
* Presents the three key success factors that can make you a rising star today while moving you toward your strategic and ideal career goals. Being "good enough" is no longer good enough. You must be an enterprising "E3" employee and career manager who is entrepreneurial, excellent and engaging.
* Describes the simple, proven five-step SNAPP approach for ensuring success by making career management a focused project instead of a series of disjointed tasks. Most people find that things are more likely to get done – and be done well – when they are well planned and organized as a project.
* Contains the assessment tools, templates, real life examples and insider information of leading career counselors, CEOs, corporate training specialists and management consultants to help put you "in the know" and on the fast track.
* Is arranged in modules so you can use it the way you want – as a primer on key concepts in the brave new world of employment, a set of success tips grouped by topic, a step-by-step guide to the career management process, or all of the above.
