Work It!  How To Get Ahead, Save Your Ass, and Land a Job in Any Economy by Allison Hemming (Simon & Schuster, 2003)

The subtitle to this book says it best “How to Get Ahead, Save Your Ass, and Land a Job in Any Economy.”  While this is not the type of language that I personally use, it hits home with many of my clients who have been impacted by layoffs either directly – or indirectly.  Some have been laid off themselves, others fear a lay off in the near future, still others are survivors of a lay off and question whether or not they want to remain with their current employer.

This book is wonderfully easy to read as Allison Hemming, a noted career expert, gives readers practical pointers on how to keep their jobs, or find new ones, and shares strategies on how to get ahead in any economy.  Her advice is delivered in a no-nonsense, witty way.  She offers tools and techniques to help readers get the most out of their job search.  At the end of each section there is a “Now Go Work It” section, which helps take action on the suggestions provided.
