Product Description

Job loss is one of life's most traumatic experiences, often causing feelings of anger, anxiety, and hopelessness. These are the same painful emotions that prevent successful job-hunting. In this timely book, psychologist and Fortune 100 career transition consultant Lynn Joseph employs the same visualization techniques used by Olympic athletes to help recently laid-off people overcome their fear and doubt and get back on track professionally. Readers learn to listen to their "inner coach" and use mental rehearsal techniques that they can stop, rewind, and play back until they visualize having the perfect interview. The author's results-minded strategies show readers how to increase their confidence, motivation, and performance to make a successful reentry into the job market.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you really want a job - read this book, September 19, 2003

By	Marjorie (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Don't even think about it....if you are out of work, order this book now! The book is a great help, paired with the CD it is spectacular. If you have the opportunity to take a seminar with Dr. Joseph, drive all night if you have to, it is worth the time & effort to jump start your job search.

I give this system my highest recommendation, don't wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for job seekers , August 15, 2005

By	Jennifer Kahnweiler "Speaker and Author" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This small book is one that has power beyond its pages. I am so impressed at the sound research that Dr. Joseph has conducted to back up this program. Clients in my career coaching practice are reporting impressive results(such as acing interviews!) from using this book and the companion CD. Sports figures have been using these techniques with much success. The application of mental imagery as a way to speed up job "landing time" makes perfect sense and Dr. Lynn Joseph's book not only builds a case for using these practical techniques but also guides us gently through them. She has given countless job seekers a gift whose effects will be lasting. I recommend this to anyone who is open to stepping out of the box in order to reap impressive rewards.

By	Steve Victory (Kalama, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A+++ This book is amazing for ANYONE who has EVER lost a job or wants to get a new job really fast.

Really helpful for getting you over the shock and anger and pain of losing a job and then moving on to something MUCH BETTER.

You must get Joseph's CD's, they are absolutely wonderful. My wife has been listening to them for a week and she has never even lost a job!
