Review

Is the chance to triple your pay worth more to you than a gold watch or a crystal paperweight? Gordon Miller, the author of this book, increased his salary by more than $100,000 in just five years. But he didn't accomplish this by staying loyal to one company. Rather, he changed jobs nearly every year. He says that you too can vastly improve your salary, earn signing bonuses, and score stock options and a flex-time schedule by following his "Big Raise" strategies.

Included in Quit Your Job Often are:

Tips on identifying hot industries and applying your skills to positions in those industries
Ways to build your reputation at work and market yourself within your company
Recommended Web sites for online job searches
Specific moves to help you make an immediate impact on the job--and make sure management notices
Advice to help you determine when it's time to move on to another job

While the advice in Quit Your Job Often isn't for everyone's stomach, it's certainly practical in these times of low job security. It'll be inspirational to anyone who's underemployed, has been laid off, or is otherwise in need of some career coaching--or for those who want to pick out their own gold watch.
