5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Coach!, Oct 26 2007

By	John K. Matthews (Stratford, ON, CAN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Coaching is all the rage today in a variety of fields. Alan Kearns leads the way and in "Get the Right Job Right Now!" he demonstrates why he is a leader in career coaching.

This book contains essential guidance for knowing who you are, what you want out of work and life and how to get there. The investment in the book is truely doubled in the first three chapters. After that, its up to you.

Getting the right job isn't always easy. My own experience was enhanced by engaging Alan Kearns as my career coach. In a way I saw the book before it hit the shelve so I know first hand that this material is terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Advice, Nov 11 2007

By	Mike D "Mike" (PEI, Canada) - See all my reviews

I recently read and enjoyed "Get the Right Job Right Now" By Alan Kearns. I found the book to be very helpful and complementary to his web site Career Joy.

I liked how he made use of Canadian examples of career success and works in progress.

This would be one of the better books I have read with reference to career planning and workplace satisfaction.
