Description: Author Nicholas Lore uses the techniques of his career-guidance network, the Rockport Institute, to make The Pathfinder a substitute for a great job counselor. Through goal setting, list making, and other techniques, the book leads readers though the process of deciding exactly what they want to do for a living and finding a way to make it happen. Lore realizes that people have different temperaments and decision-making methods, so he provides individualized advice to suit each one. He also understands that creating a new career requires courage as well as desire, so The Pathfinder devotes plenty of space to motivation and overcoming fears. While anyone looking for a new career will find direction with this guide, people who didn't know they were looking may decide to start once they go through Lore's probing self-examination process.

This year's edition has been completely revised and rewritten and is designed to work in conjunction with the book's Web site.

Description: John Lucht, an executive recruiter during the past three decades for some of America's top corporations, knows what it takes to snag a new six-figure job. Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+ is his newly revised guide to the ins and outs of a search for a job that ends in success. It promises a "comprehensive cram course in accelerating your career"--a contemporary corporate equivalent of the traditional initiation into adulthood from which it takes its title--updated for the cyber-age. And it delivers, with Lucht offering inside tips on the basic routes to a new executive-level position: personal contacts (i.e., "ask for a reference instead of a job"); networking ("never fail to get into the office of anyone whose name is mentioned to you, never depart with less than three new names"); executive recruiters ("understand their hidden financial arrangements"); direct mail ("write to the CEO or a person two levels above your target job"); and the Internet ("insert plenty of the right 'keywords' so that the computer will find your resume"). Extensive online references are also included throughout, and the material is presented in a way that's easy to understand and implement. --Howard Rothman

Description: The upbeat guide to living—not just surviving—when you're unemployed.
In No Job? No Prob!, business writer Nicholas Nigro shows readers how to convert unemployment lemons into refreshing lemonade. Offering advice that is at once motivational ("when unemployment comes calling, start walking and don't look back"), practical ("20 ways to make yourself leave the house at least once a day"), and fun ("20 things you can do with your retired briefcase"), No Job? No Prob! is the most well-rounded and optimistic unemployment guide available. It also includes useful quizzes that will help you take stock of what you have, decide what you want, and figure out the best way to get there. Learn how to look forward and still live in the moment—after all, as Orson Scott Card says, "unemployment is capitalism's way of getting you to plant a garden." 30 b/w illustrations.
