Today's job market is the toughest in recent history. Nearly every day, big companies make headlines laying off thousands of workers. The hidden bright spot is that small companies have created tens of thousands of good new jobs. Nearly 80 percent of all new jobs have been created not by big corporations, but by small companies. A Big Splash in a Small Pond will help outplaced corporate employees, recent college graduates, former career military, women returning to the workforce, and frustrated professionals find new opportunities in the workplace of the 1990s.

Because more than 80 percent of job openings go unadvertised, career counselors tout "networking" as the most effective means of uncovering hidden career opportunities. Whatever you're looking for a first job, a new job, or a whole new career, networking reigns supreme as the surest path to success. But what is networking? In A Foot in the Door, best-selling author and career expert Katharine Hanson proves that networking is a far cry from the like of bigwigs shaking hands at cocktail parties. Detailing networking's nuts and bolts in concrete, practical terms, Katharine maps out a clear step-by-step approach that works for anyone -- from college students to executive-career changers.

This book is a must for any serious job seeker. It will teach you not only how to sell yourself most effectively on paper, but also how to avoid the kind of mistakes that are all too common. No matter what field or your experience, you’re sure to find advice that can help you stand out from the crowd.
