Resources

The resources in this section may be useful to you while on your job search and career decision-making journey. I have selected those books that I believe are important references when addressing various aspects of career management.

NOTE: Leaving a job (or wondering whether to leave) is often an emotional time. My Blog may be the best place to start to read an experienced view on many of the career-related issues you could be facing.

What I’m recommending currently…

I’m on Linked In – Now What? 2nd Edition by Jason Alba
I’m on FaceBook – Now What? by Jason Alba

Social networks such as Linked In and FaceBook provide opportunities to become known in your field, to offer yourself as a resource to others and to create a professional community on line. At the same time, many who belong to such communities, underutilize them or use them inappropriately. Others are reluctant to become a part of social networking because they lack confidence in their abilities to handle technology. These books serve as “how to” manuals and as guides to efficient and effective us of Linked In and FaceBook. New at this? Begin with one of these sites and use the book as your reference manual.
