This book is devoted to a task, which few of us undertake with relish, yet must do at least once in our lifetimes: finding the right career position. Like it or not, we are all compelled by one force or another to work, earn wages and be productive.Some persons are fortunate in that they do not have to rely entirely on their vocation for financial support. Others are not compensated well enough to live without some sort of governmental or charitable assistance, even though they work at a full-time job. For the sake of simplicity, the focus of this book will be on the majority of Americans, who fall into neither of the categories listed above, but rather the middle-class and middle-income wage earner.Make no mistake: there is no foolproof method which one can employ in the effort of locating an appropriate job. And there is indeed a wide range of books available on the subjectsome factual and cold, others fanciful and taking a Zen-like approach to the matter at hand. Yet there has seldom been a common-sense guide to the art of job-hunting, if it can indeed be called that; it could more appropriately be called a craft, since it is a talent which must be developed and cultivated, and not an inherent gift. Hopefully this book will change that sad circumstance.
