Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Ms. Leon cuts through the typical corporate hiring rhetoric and goes straight for the methods and information that actually work. She has created an effective, no-nonsense guide for real people." - R.T. St. Claire, Director of Human Resources, The Good Intentions Paving Co.

"Camille Leon is one-of-a-kind, with lots of courage and good common sense. Here, she tackles some really tough questions - fearlessly. Agree or not, she'll make you think." - John Janda, The WorkPlace CA

"This book really gets to the heart of what it takes to get a job and keep a job in the 21st century." -Dianne Russell, Jamboree Housing Corporation

This book gives the job-seeker a birdÂ’s-eye view of the employerÂ’s thought process, with specific suggestions for overcoming unspoken concerns, and provides a guide for turning oneÂ’s life around at 18 or 58.

This book targets the issues and concerns of those who are unfamiliar with the employment world, either because theyÂ’re seeking their first job or a re-entry job after years of pursuing a variety of goals.

This book is for you if you are a survivorÂ… of drug and/or alcohol addiction, of poverty and welfare, of incarceration, of domestic violence, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written from the trenches, September 21, 2003
By David Chaney (Granada Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Ms. Leon works successfully with the most underemployed, difficult to employ, and nearly impossible to keep employed population: prison parolees. As a parole officer, I am familiar with her work with our criminal population and have reviewed her book. Her agency contracts with the state of California to provide encouragement to men and women ex-prisoners used to robbing and stealing to support their drug habits. Many of these deceitful and violent people get out of prison with genuine hopes for a real job. Unfortunately, their previous work is at the end of a gun barrel or selling crack cocaine and heroin. Ms. Leon works individually with ex-offenders, capitalizing on their hopes, but preparing them to face real-world barriers in the work place. The book is well-written, and best of all, in a workbook format to be used by the job seeker frustrated by the barriers in the workplace. I use it with my own parolees. Ms. Leon's book would help individual readers, but better, it would be used in job-seekers groups, trade schools, or community colleges were students prepare for the working world. Her experience with tattooed and toothless convicts is a valuable buy for any law-abiding citizen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - I truly enjoyed reading it., July 8, 2003
By A. Ledesma "doramag" (Bell Gardens, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I truly enjoyed reading the book. The workbook is easy to read with clear language, with a "pinch of humor" -- and definitely not boring. Page after page, I thought of friends, family members, acquaintances, clients I work with (and myself) the benefits of reading this book. Even, if you think you know the ins-and-outs of job seeking, as a resource book, it will be helpful. The author knows the business of "how to find a job", gives good advise and the information is up-to-date with a focus on the "real world". I highly recommend this book - for those who are currently job seeking, would like to change jobs or careers, or are trying to find their "first job". Think of the dollars spent buying this workbook, as a small investment for a better job and better future.
