Interestingly enough when I was at Barnes & Noble the other day, I noticed there was a whole aisle filled with career books, and advice on how to get a job.No, I am not looking for a job myself, but I found that rather intriguing.Consider if you will that with so many people out of work, or underemployed that folks are looking for the best strategies to find meaningful work.Okay so let's go ahead and talk about this for second shall we?Yesterday, I picked up an interesting book at the used bookstore for only one dollar with my trade-in.Although the book was written in 2007 it is fast-paced reading and actually had some really good insight.I appreciate that, because as I sit in Starbucks and talk to various folks around our community, I am amazed at how many people are either looking for a job, or would like to move up now that the economy is supposedly getting better.The name of this book is;."Rules for Renegades - How to Make More Money and Rock Your Career and Revel in Your Individuality," by Christine Comaford-Lynch, McGraw Hill, New York, NY, 2007, 268 pages, ISBN. 0-07-148975-4.It turns out that the writer is an entrepreneurial lady and has actually started five new companies in her career.She tells the reader had to get over rejection when your resume is sent into the proverbial round file, as well as how to network in the New World, and enjoy yourself while doing it.Some other interesting advice is how to save your money, and budget but still enjoy life while looking for a job.She explains that "everything is an illusion, so pick one that's empowering," and go for it.What she is getting at is there are so many self-help gurus out there with all sorts of brilliant suggestions to help motivate you.Depending on what type of personality you are, there is certainly a methodology which will work for you.So, get busy and pick one, and get out there and hustle.If you don't have an MBA, but you'd still like to be in management, she suggests ways you can get that done as well.Overall, I found the advice to be quite good, and now I am empowered with more information to suggest to all those people I meet each and every day who are looking for work.If you know of someone that doesn't have a job, and is looking for a job, as we all do, perhaps you will also recommend this book to them.Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
