Summary
In what is the first really fresh job-hunting idea since What Color Is Your Parachute?, 30 Days to a Good Job puts you on a strategic, systematic 30-day program that leaves you no time to become discouraged. This positive, highly focused program provides you with an accelerated schedule that reduces the conventional six- to twelve-month job search "sleepwalk" into a well thought out blitz that gets you not one but a half-dozen contacts in each of your prospective companies and up to 150 job contacts in a single month.
