Format:Paperback
This is a workbook based on John Lucht's book "Rites of Passage at $100,000+". It offers a way to organize your job search, including skills inventory, resume building, cover letter writing, contact management, etc. It can be used without the $100,000+ book, but ideally is used as a companion to the book.
Lucht's system outlined in the book is very narrow, advocating a mail campaign as the most important part of the job search. This workbook expands on that a fair bit, offering more resume and cover letter examples and a series of worksheets. The content is well thought out, especially the worksheets. If your plan is to organize your own work search, you can do everything with this one book - resume, cover letter, networking, interview skills, and negotiation. There are thousands of executive job searching books out there, but if you wanted to buy just one, this would be the one.

As a senior officer transitioning from the military to the civilian sector, John Lucht's workbook is the best I've found for folks in our category. When used in combination with his Rites of Passage "textbook" and his website at RiteSite.com, you have a complete resource package to guide your efforts.

Format:Paperback
This book is simply a compilation of repackaged material that anyone with common sense could write down on a piece of paper. The anecdotes are hokey and the BOLD ALL CAPS punch lines are simply there to take up space. Save yourself some money by sitting down and taking the time to think of how to package yourself in your job search. Also, Mr. Lucht makes sure that his self promotion is woven throughout the book. The kicker is that the book is simplisticly and exasperatingly written in a kind of folksy style. My advice: find someone that you or one of your friends knows who has changed careers, take them out to lunch and pick their brain.

Horribly written but contains some good advice
This is one of the worst-written books I have ever read. There are an innumerable number of sentences that begin with 'But' and 'And' which makes me wonder if his editors are... Read more
