About this title

Reviews

This exhaustive guide for middle-aged job seekers covers the same ground as did Jeffrey G. Allen and Jess Gorkin's Finding the Right Job at Midlife ( LJ 6/15/85), but it is written with less gung-ho enthusiasm. The object of the book is to help executives find another job in their speciality. After dealing with the probable emotional difficulties of unemployment, the author offers extensive guidance in resume writing (recommending several styles, to be prepared for any eventuality) and interview preparation. She lists words that are outdated and should be avoided in letters and resumes, and she discusses stress interviews and illegal questions. Considerable space is devoted to the analysis of communication styles, from different perspectives. A useful book for libraries. Barbara Carow, Morrill Memorial Lib., Norwood, Mass.
