What to Do with The Rest of Your Life

America's Top Career Coach Shows You How to Find or Create the Job You'll LOVE

No matter the economic environment, there are ample reasons why you might be aching to change jobs or move up in the one you already have. In this book, career consultant Robin Ryan - who's offered her advice over the past 20 years to individual clients and through top broadcast and print outlets - shares the specifics that can help you do it right.

Dividing her book into sections that focus on sequential steps in the process (figuring it out, moving on, staying put), she describes proven ways to determine your ideal job and workplace, land a job or launch a business and get paid appropriately, get promoted, get a raise, or take your own enterprise to a higher level. Virtually all of Ryan's suggestions will prove useful to one reader or another, as she explains in detail how to tap into the hidden job market - since some 85 percent of all positions are never directly advertised - via research "on the Internet, in the library, over telephones, and through conversations with colleagues, friends, and acquaintances." She also explains, based on interviews with 78 top executives, how "to help you get promoted no matter what level you're at or how big your organization is." - Howard Rothman

Reader J. T. Michaels of Boston, MA says,"I heard the author on the radio and was quite impressed. Then I read her book and am convinced everyone who cares about their career needs to read this masterpiece. It's insightful and inspiring but has the specifics on direction that most books on uncovering your passion seem to lack. I wanted to do something I enjoyed more without having to take a big salary cut. In fact, Ms. Ryan showed me how to get a new job that's a promotion with a BIG raise attached to it. Ms. Ryan is a wealth of ideas on how to prosper and find the meaning that was lacking at work. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make a career change if you follow her sage advice. I'm happier and making thousands more because this lady really knows her stuff. My advise to you is buy it, use it and prosper."
