What People Are Saying:
“As a Recruiter with a career spanning over 30 years, my hat is off to Kurt Kirton. He has accomplished something truly remarkable. He has broken down the job search process into logical, easily understood steps with a wealth of tools that are genuinely useful. He has done what many other authors have tried and failed. He has taken the overwhelming task of job searching and broken it down to be so user friendly and so unintimidating that he does not overwhelm his reader. Rather, he gives the reader a sense of ‘I can do this. I can eat this elephant one bite at a time.’ I will recommend this book to, not only job seekers, but coaches, mentors and other recruiters. It is a real ‘find.'” –Layne Cagle, Partner and Recruiter, Vaco Staffing
“In the 20 years I have known Kurt, I’ve seen him excel in several career settings and recover from job layoffs, all the while remaining buoyant and upbeat—methodical in his job searches—and become an expert on that process along the way.
