1.0 Start here! Read this first!

My textbook, The Ultimate Career Planning Manual for Engineers and Computer Scientists, has gone through its second printing.

This is the next edition.

Instead of going back to print, I've decided that I want to make the material more immediate, accessible and affordable. I want the book to be dynamic. That's why I'm publishing it here and in this form.

If you are in one of my classes:  this is the textbook!

This "book" is for the serious job seeker. It will serve as your guide to the career job search process. It provides the tools necessary to create and implement an effective, proactive, career development plan.

This book is not about how to find a job, or just any job. It is a guide on how to develop a career life plan that secures the next job that is right for you. It will help you assess each career move you make relative to how you really want to live your life. It will help you develop a planful life rather than a random existence.

Work through the material in order, as it is presented. Even if you think you know what you want and are ready to write the resume or file the application, you will not be able to put your best foot forward unless you are in fact planful, self-aware and deliberate, and unless you've done your homework.

So, enjoy and do well! And if you have any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to send me a note.
