100% JOB SEARCH SUCCESS is directed at the development of your professional skills that begin in college and extend through the job search and into the lifelong learning environment of the workplace.

This book will help you understand what employers are seeking out in candidates from job-related skills, to communication, organization to leadership, all skills that make for a well-rounded employee on the job. In this highly competitive job market, using these new tools will help ensure that you will have a measure of success in your job search.
