Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Many of us have fantasized about pulling up the stakes and starting a new job in a different city. Others move because their partners have been relocated or because they want to be closer to loved ones. But how do you find a position in Seattle while you're still living in Detroit? Greener Pastures is an essential, step-by-step guide for those who want to find work in another part of the country. It covers in detail, and with real-life examples:

-What you must do before you start your long-distance search
-What kind of research and preparation you can do from home
-How to discover openings in your target market
-When and how to plan a visit to your target city and what to do once you're there

Finally, it deals with the emotional and financial issues of finding a job in another place--your motivation for moving and the risks you take by relocating. Never before has a book covered this sometimes traumatic, always significant career decision so thoroughly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found the job of my dreams because of this book., August 5, 1999

By A Customer

I've always wanted to leave home in the midwest and move to the east coast but was afraid to just pack-up and take-off. This book gave me the attitude, confidence, tools and knowledge to explore my dream without leaving home. I was shocked to discover I could not only find a job on the east coast - I found my dream job and will be working 2 blocks away from the beach doing something I've always wanted to do and making a lot more money than I thought I could make. Thank you Andrea Kay! This book is insightful, well-written and took me step-by-step through the process. It's the best 12 bucks I've ever spent in my life. I'm going to eat lobster once a week!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time for a Book Rebirth, June 29, 2003

By	Roger E. Herman (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book was written in 1999, during the go-go years of the late 1990s when people were jumping from job to job like there was no tomorrow. There were plenty of employment opportunities-locally and across the country and the world. With such abundance, a lot of people were just jumping without investing sufficient time and thought into the decisions they were making.

Then the economy tanked, taking a lot of hopeful careers down with it. Hark! The economy is coming back! Things are picking up again and workers will have an increasing number of job options open to them. As we shift back toward a sellers' market, workers in all fields will again have decisions to make. The search for new opportunities is kicking into gear and thousands of people will be looking for exciting jobs...which may not be right around the corner.

This book will take you step-by-step through a process that has baffled many job-seekers over the years. Nope, it's not one of those academic treatises full of theoretical stuff. You'll have a workbook in your hands-one that will put ideas in your head, questions in front of your face, and pages to write things down. "Greener Pastures" is very specifically for people who are looking for a job in another location; they want to move to another city, another state, for whatever reason(s).

In the initial chapter, Andrea Kay, a specialist in job seeking, will challenge why you want to consider a move in the first place. Be ready to be forced into some research-internal and external. Then, in the subsequent chapters, you'll find questions, information, suggestions, and techniques to streamline your process. Your mind will be opened by this book, which will also help you fill it back up again with the information you need to find that distant job the right way. Result: you'll go after your next position with a significantly higher level of confidence which will support greater achievement.

Bonus: You'll find some good resources in the back of the book, right before the comprehensive index. "Greener Pastures" is a usable tool.

Note: While this book is based on an out-of-town focus, there is plenty of value for the job-seeker who does not necessarily want to move to another city. The process may reaffirm your desire to grow where you are planted. "Greener Pastures" is a book whose time has come...again.
