By Tracy Laswell, CAREER-Magic.com

Available now, the 5th edition is expanded with popular content from my job search workshop series,  years of job search coaching practice, and new resources. But even at 180 pages, it’s still a quick, pragmatic, humorous guide to the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of the successful job seeker.
