Although I am an extrovert by nature, my son is an introvert. When around close friends he changes some, but when it comes to work environment, he would rather work alone than deal with the public. <br /> <br />Having the chance to read this book gave me a lot of insight into lives of those who are not as outgoing as a majority of people are. The tips and explanations really helped me realize more about my son and others I know who are not so people-oriented. <br /> <br />The topics in this book range from "Are you introverted or are you shy?" to promoting yourself and cultivating connections. I found the information on introversion vs. shyness to be quite informative- individuals who are introverted get drained from being around a large group of people and often withdraw. I see this in my son; he loves having his friends over, but when it gets too much for him rather than ask them to leave, he goes to his room. The author states that many introverts recharge by getting away and they often process information slower. I always thought that meant procrastination, but now I see it doesn't. <br /> <br />The author has provided many quotes from individuals who are introverted, as well as given examples of people we know in the news that have these qualities. In her last chapters she tells individuals to embrace introversion. <br /> <br />"The Successful Introvert" by Wendy Gelberg is a must read for those who want to know more about introversion and for the individuals who are introverted. <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewed by Carol Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views (2/09)

In this economy, I grab for every available source. One really great one I've found is http://www.Hound.com. I look here for jobs because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards. I'm much more comfortable in the economy after these resources.

Yamamoto Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:16:47 +0000 http://ejobhuntingguide.info/?p=44#comment-100 This is a great book for people who are "in transition" or who just want grow their network of contacts. Molly has done an excellent job of writing a book that's full of great strategies and tactics as well as common sense reminders. The book covers most of the basics that you want in regards to job search (resumes, business cards, websites, working with recruiters, interviewing, etc.). However, Molly has a fresh take on many of these subjects. I found the networking suggestions the most valuable part of the book. After reading the book, I felt much more comfortable reaching out to network with people who I probably would not have prior to reading the book. Her suggestions on how to get the most out of networking opportunities was also really helpful I highly recommend this book to anyone who is in job search.
