5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Useful Book I Have Read in Years!, August 5, 2008

By	Julianne Elkeshen "CityMommy" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After taking 7 years off to raise my two children, the thought of returning to the work world was at the very least daunting!
I read this book and was truly inspired. It was the most useful book I have read in years. It is designed to be informative but it also has the benefits of being a workbook that give you significant tools for your launch back into the world of paid work! I found it to be extremely positive and motivational and at the same time highly practical.
I was able to zip right through it and now use it on a regular basis to aid my daily efforts in finding work that is just right for my lifestyle.
I felt a bit timid about on ramping...but now with the help of this great book, I feel a great amount of courage! Well worth the purchase! It is one that I won't lend out, will refer back to it often!

5.0 out of 5 stars Small book, big impact, November 3, 2008

By	Job Seeker (CA) - See all my reviews

This is a small book chocked full of information, exercises and encouragment for professional women returning to the workforce after taking timeo off to stay home with their kids. As a mother myself, I like that is clearly written, succinct and gets right to the point. The authors clearly understand their audience.

1.0 out of 5 stars RIP OFF!!!, October 9, 2008

By	Book Lover - See all my reviews

This is the absolute worst book that I have ever purchased. I have never felt so ripped off! Literally 25 pages of the small book (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") are blank or have striped lines down the entire length of the page. Most of the rest of the pages fill from a quarter to a half of the page and they provide room for "Notes". When there are words they provide a half a page to provide "Exercises" such as "Given what I know about myself...What do I want to accomplish in life?" and of course a huge blank area left to answer...it's so insulting----you can use a tablet of paper to answer the questions!
It is as if they took a Power Point presentation and printed it out as a "book". PLEASE do not spend your hard earned money on this supposed "book"! These "authors" should be ashamed of themselves.
