From Annotated Bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Finding A Job and Planning A Career for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia by Dale S. Brown

The author enjoys repeating himself, making for a thicker and more bloated book than necessary. Unfortunately, this detracts from the casual reading experience.

However, the book is nonetheless insightful and worth a scan at a bookstore.

This book was actually used as a textbook for our career strategies class in college. Unlike most college textbooks, this book is very reader-friendly, and gets straight to the heart of the matter - getting you the job you want. Covering all essentials of job searching, resume writing, interviewing, and more, the author has provided a clear and simple road map to the layman. If you follow the guidelines this book teaches, I personally promise you the position you wish is in reach - now!

My job search wasn't enhanced by this book. I felt that it didn't focus enough on choosing the right career and the right job like Vaultreports.com. Thus, it didn't help me a great deal in choosing what to pursue.

This book came to me in near perfect condition. It also shipped quite quickly. I would shop from this vendor again based on their commitment to excellence and quality.
