This book is a guide for anyone entering, re-entering, changing careers or unemployed in the job market. The author tells what the Job Counselors and Human Resource Departments don't and what the management schools don't teach. You need an anchor for stability and personal radar to guide you through stormy seas and the fogs of information overload. You cannot escape personal responsibility regardless of how hard you try. You are the only one who can be "the master of your fate and the captain of your soul". The book concludes with why persistence, determination, and ignoring the myths of impossible dreams enable job seekers to achieve success in both their job and their life.
